| sebsebseb | ramis12: 9.04 in a virtual machine to try, and 9.10 on a real psyical isntall, that sounds good to me :) also you can get Virtualbox support in #vbox | 00:00 |
| zebastian | shane2peru yes, now once it's done what do i do, you said we could recover everything from where i'm at and so while it's copying i'm opening a notepad file to list any commands for the promptt | 00:00 |
| Anaisita | Hey. I just installed Ubuntu and everything works fine except for the sound. It just sounds weird. | 00:00 |
| LucidGuy | I wonder if its safe enough to give Karmic a shot. | 00:00 |
| scott_ino2 | seidos, make sure you don't keep that permanant on yoru box, wouldn't want you breaking things | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | LucidGuy: don't get it yet, unless your a developer | 00:00 |
| ramis12 | zebastian i did try but they are awfully quite all the time...i have been trying for 1 month now | 00:00 |
| scunizi | ramis12: you could also change the networking type from bridged to the other option.. also #vbox is great for vbox support.. | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | LucidGuy: or a proper Ubuntu tester | 00:00 |
| seidos | scott_ino2: didn't work for me either. You probably need to be logged in as root to do it | 00:00 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: right, do you remember where you saved the ati file you downloaded? | 00:00 |
| boscop | why can't ubuntu mount hibernated windows partitions? | 00:00 |
| scott_ino2 | which is impossible | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | LucidGuy: If you want to get it early maybe the Beta on October 1st | 00:01 |
| seidos | scott_ino2: probably, like you said, to keep users from breaking the system | 00:01 |

| Anaisita | I have a Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) sound card | 00:01 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ok, do you have internet access? | 00:01 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: on the laptop? | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | lstarnes LucidGuy well installing updates from the repo, it seems won't just give the new features, when alpha | 00:01 |
| scott_ino2 | seidos, well.. not impossible | 00:01 |
| Anaisita | Can anybody help me. I sure it's nothing, I just don't know how to start solving it. | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | LucidGuy: well then Beta | 00:02 |
| scott_ino2 | seidos, i'll just have to put it in acpi/acd.d instead i suppose | 00:02 |
| scott_ino2 | more work for me than simply echoing | 00:02 |
| zebastian | shane2peru, i logged on recovery mode and from the recovery mode menu i selected prompt shell root with networking, so i'm assuming i do | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | LucidGuy: or maybe alpha, but you will have to clean install when the final is out really for sure probably, if you do an alpha | 00:02 |

| Reilithion | Halitech: FYI, this is what I was after: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/karmic-changes/ | 00:02 |
| Halitech | sebsebseb, LucidGuy as long as you keep things updated as they come out, no fresh install is required | 00:02 |
| Moloset | hey there team is it any hard to learn linux shell commands | 00:02 |
| Reilithion | Thanks for your help | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | lstarnes: well the second dose of art work is quite a bit later on, the first dose has already been | 00:03 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: that will download the correct file again, and we can install it from there, and that should fix all your problems | 00:03 |
| scott_ino2 | seidos, well i figured you kinda knew what you were getting yourself into ;-) | 00:03 |
| LucidGuy | Halitech, when you say update you mean keep up with apt-get update/dist-upgrade right? | 00:03 |
| Anaisita | bobertdos, I don't know, it doesn't sound right. It's like i'm using crappy speakers. | 00:03 |
| seidos | !ask | Anaisita | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Anaisita: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:03 |

| zebastian | shane2peru, you're lovely (I just pasted that command to the notepad file for when it's done copying files) | 00:03 |
| Halitech | LucidGuy, correct | 00:03 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: I hate ati. :) last computer I will ever by with ati. :) | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Halitech LucidGuy I have had Karmic since alpha 4, and it seems that most of the updates haven't done much good, for example I don't have that fancyish new boot up screen when Ubuntu is loading | 00:03 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: do you have high speed, it is a 95MB file so it may take a few minutes, how is the copying coming? | 00:04 |
| bobertdos | Anaisita: First, bring up a terminal, type in alsamixer, and check your volume levels. | 00:04 |
| Halitech | sebsebseb, thats why its still not ready yet ;) | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | LucidGuy: yes alpha so bugs etc, that's expected, and this isn't the first time I done alpha, but like after last time, I said I woudn't do it untill beta, but I still did, next time round I will stay with Karmic as host, and virtual machine the development version, and do a clean install as each one comes out | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | Halitech: exactly | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | Halitech: and you were basically saying it will be fine to upgrade probably | 00:05 |
| * scott_ino2 sigh... all i wanted was better battery life | 00:05 | |
| seidos | scott_ino2: I figured it probably wouldn't work for me either :) | 00:05 |
| Halitech | sebsebseb, once the final release is out, apt-get update dist-upgrade should get you the final release | 00:05 |
| seidos | scott_ino2: I've been running with my battery removed | 00:05 |
| ramis12 | hello again, what is a good company that issues laptops with pre-installed ubuntu...price is not an issue | 00:05 |
| scott_ino2 | seidos, yeah im just gonna break down and buy solid state and get a new battery since it's under warranty | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | Halitech: maybe, maybe not, probably best to clean install anyway once the final is out | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | Halitech: plus I got a nice seperate /home so that won't be difficult to do | 00:06 |
| martiben | I have a problem with Wicd where it connects to my | 00:06 |
| martiben | wireless(can access other computers on LAN etc) but i dont | 00:06 |
| martiben | get internet. Anyone familiar with this problem? | 00:06 |
| Anaisita | bobertdos, haha yes!! the pcm level was too high! It sounds great now!! | 00:06 |
| seidos | scott_ino2: I was thinking of getting solid state, but I don't really need it, and don't have money to spend on things that I don't really need | 00:06 |

| Halitech | sebsebseb, in theory it should but then again my luck with theory hasn't been so good lately :( | 00:07 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: did you get the data copied? | 00:07 |
| gordon142 | With my Atheros-based internal wireless, Ubuntu drops the connection and reconnects at least once every five minutes | 00:07 |
| scott_ino2 | seidos, the prices have come down a lot though... maybe soon | 00:08 |
| seidos | gordon142: are you using ndiswrapper? | 00:08 |
| gordon142 | There is both an open-source and a proprietary driver available for the card (that ship with Ubuntu). Both have the same effect | 00:08 |
| kyle33 | Whats the best and coolest graphics tool?compiz or beryl?I got ubuntu 9.04 as guest in vmware | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | Halitech: when I did 9.04 and started with alpha6, I was left with with one or two or so issues from it, untill I clean installed, by the way off topic and I did pm you | 00:08 |
| scott_ino2 | kyle33, it's all just compiz now | 00:08 |
| gordon142 | The issue only occurs after installing all software updates, the card works fine after installing 9.04 from the latest available ISO | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | kyle33: Beryl is no longer made | 00:09 |
| seidos | !who | gordon142 | 00:09 |
| gordon142 | something in the updates breaks it | 00:09 |
| ubottu | gordon142: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | kyle33: Beryl was a fork of Compiz Fushion, and then it got forked back into Compiz | 00:09 |
| scott_ino2 | kyle33, or compiz-fusion to be more precise | 00:09 |
| gordon142 | The only thing in the system log is "roamed from <my network> to """ | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | kyle33: they became one | 00:09 |
| gordon142 | I'm not | 00:09 |
| gordon142 | Just asking the channel | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: yeah Nividia :) | 00:09 |
| gordon142 | I supposed I should consolidate the entire problem into a single post though | 00:09 |
| kyle33 | Do i just use "sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion" | 00:09 |

| rejohn | When I did "apt-get -s remove kdebase-workspace-wallpapers" it said: "The following packages will be REMOVED: kdebase-workspace-wallpapers kdeplasma-addons plasma-wallpapers-addons".

| naturalx | Hey guys. I have ATI Catalyst with an ATI mobility X1600 running on Ubuntu Intrepid. Recently, I got a new monitor. I now have one 1680x1050 monitor and one 1900x1200, however, when using them (either dual or individually), the catalyst refuses to go above 1680x1050 for the second monitor, even though it has 1920x1200 listed under "Maximum Resolution". How can I get it to work? Any help would be much appreciated! | 00:31 |
| shane2peru | seidos: here is the instructions: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat99-inst.pdf | 00:31 |
| seidos | zebastian0: have you tried changing the device in xorg.conf? | 00:31 |
| mmInd_ | Halitech, don't really care, chapters would be nice | 00:31 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, no, let's do that | 00:31 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, i mean | 00:31 |
| zebastian0 | yes | 00:31 |
| zebastian0 | to vesa | 00:31 |
| zebastian0 | now that i recall | 00:31 |

| seidos | zebastian0: yeah, and changing to vesa didn't work? | 00:31 |

| Noturno99 | i cant install pidgin in mi linux | 00:32 |
| Noturno99 | what library i needed? | 00:32 |
| aleron6 | can anybody help my install these drivers | 00:32 |
| seidos | zebastian0: you should try bro's command | 00:32 |
| Halitech | mmInd_, ok, when you open devede, you will be set to add your first video, after you add the first one, click on the add on the left side (sorry, got mine running right now doing a conversion so can't look at it) and then add your second file, repeat until done | 00:32 |
| seidos | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg | 00:32 |
| seidos | zebastian0: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg | 00:32 |
| zopiac | jrib: well it isnt finding what i would think should be in a .folder . . . | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | Noturno99: Pidgin should be installed by default | 00:33 |
| Halitech | mmInd_, if you want to break it down to say 10 files running together, add the first 10 files to the first chapter then add another chapter | 00:33 |
| sebsebseb | Noturno99: if you done Ubuntu, which Linux? | 00:33 |
| jrib | zopiac: pastebin | 00:33 |
| zopiac | jrib: what to pastebin? it isnt finding what i want | 00:33 |
| mmInd_ | Halitech, is there a way to add all 100 to one title without doing each one separately? | 00:34 |
| jrib | zopiac: so pastebin your command, it not finding what you want (the output of your command), and an ls /path/to/what/you/expected/it/to/find | 00:34 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, i got the following output, warning overwriting posssibly customised configuration file, back up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200909141720033 | 00:34 |
| Halitech | mmInd_, yeah, just keep adding them to the first chapter | 00:34 |
| jrib | zopiac: or you're not sure it's there? | 00:34 |
| zopiac | jrib: im not sure its there, and it isnt a single directory | 00:35 |
| Halitech | mmInd_, I'm not sure what the limit is for files but you should see a progress bar in regards to file size or percentage of disk, when that hits 120 you'll have a full disk | 00:35 |
| seidos | zebastian0: that's not a big deal, a backup of xorg.conf is fine | 00:35 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, unrelated: can i unplug the external drive yet? | 00:35 |
| jrib | zopiac: right, but find does search in hidden directories. But you could easily test this yourself by creating a small hidden directory and putting a file in there and using find. So it's not there if find says it isn't | 00:35 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, just letting you know | 00:35 |
| zopiac | yeah, it would have been easier | 00:35 |
| mmInd_ | Halitech, okay thanks for your help | 00:36 |
| zopiac | didnt think of it though, thanks | 00:36 |
| seidos | zebastian0: did you type umount /media/device without errors? | 00:36 |

| zebastian0 | seidos, if i do the same black screen with the pixelated stripe will come up | 00:43 |
| zebastian0 | as in x don't work | 00:43 |
| seidos | zebastian0: that's why I asked about your xorg.conf | 00:43 |
| seidos | zebastian0: at this point I' | 00:43 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, how do i check if i still have vesa in xorg.conf | 00:44 |
| seidos | zebastian0: I'm not sure if the problem before was from trying to start xorg with root priviledges or the device your using in xorg.conf | 00:44 |
| seidos | zebastian0: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:44 |
| seidos | zebastian0: off the top of my head, under Device, identifier should be set to "vesa" | 00:45 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, no sight of vesa anywhere about, or at least not where i'd put it | 00:45 |
| Fendarilx | anyone here? | 00:45 |
| lstarnes | Fendarilx: over a thousand | 00:45 |
| bro | zebastian, in device, at driver, what does it say? those should be your drivers now | 00:46 |
| seidos | zebastian0: you have to type "vesa" where your current device is listed (ati?) | 00:46 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: maybe it would have been easier to just put in the live cd and get your external hard disk working on it and move data over to it, and re install, but then you also don't learn stuff | 00:46 |

| Howdy | how about to another IP? | 01:08 |
| teh_bee | yea | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | zruty: I guess your running the equivilant to the Live CD on your USB stick, hence it coming back | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | zruty: also if you save something on that USB, when you re load it, the thing you saved is gone? | 01:08 |

| beatbreaker | Neroon, yeah i was using 2 seperate X displays before but it was annoying me, i want to gety and get it working with xinerama instead | 01:11 |
| seidos | zebastian0: I would recommend seeing what other people with the same ati graphics card you have would do | 01:12 |
| bro | zebastian0, you can go with 9.04, works flowlessly on my machine | 01:12 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, how can i survey that? | 01:12 |
| beatbreaker | i wrote a script that had it opening on the other display but now that obviously doesn't work | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | bro: what no it didn't untill you sorted your ATI issue out? | 01:12 |
| zebastian0 | bro, yes but remember that because i didn't have the propretory drivers, it would get overheated and then get stuck? | 01:12 |
| seidos | zebastian0: see if anyone has written documentation on your card for ubuntu | 01:12 |
| Howdy | how do you send a message via ssh to another IP? | 01:12 |
| zebastian0 | wouldn't it be easier with 8.04? | 01:12 |
| bro | seidos, not sure the ati driver problems are just related to 9.04 | 01:12 |
| Neroon | beatbreaker: well I prefer it that way since the 2nd display is my tv, but the DISPLAY=:0.1 <appname> might work with xinerama as well. Tried it? Maybe with a shell or something | 01:13 |
| seidos | bro: me neither, I'm googling | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: probably | 01:14 |

| ubottu | josh: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support | 01:35 |
| altf2o | yep. If closed makes my product run flawlessly under this platform, then i'm all for it. | 01:35 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb, in your assessment, should i install jaunty or the last LTS? | 01:35 |
| bro | zebastian0, i'd say go with Jaunty, there are surely improvements over 8.10. why else it would be a new release then? | 01:35 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, do you think jaunty is the way to go? | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: I guess 9.04 will be alright, as long as you install the correct ATI driver | 01:35 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb can you help me install the wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run on the command line once i do a clean install? | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | bro: not sure why he is talking about 8.10 now, we were talking about 8.04 before | 01:36 |
| bro | oh | 01:36 |
| zebastian0 | bro: i meant 8.04 | 01:36 |
| zebastian0 | that's the long term stable version right? | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | bro: and 8.10 and 8.04 have pretty much the same xorg or whatever, where as 8.04 doesn't which means at least with certain ATI cards it's better | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | bro: ah | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | bro: 9.04 and 8.10 have pretty much the same xorg or whatever above | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | !lts | zebastian0 | 01:37 |
| ubottu | zebastian0: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be 10.04 | 01:37 |
| Neroon | beatbreaker: What does the script do now? Nothing? | 01:38 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb, do you think it would work better if i installed hardy heron instead of jaunty? | 01:38 |
| dsdeiz | how do you do a minimal install again? | 01:38 |
| bro | sebsebseb, and you think ATI did worse on 9.10 than before? cause it's a possibility, but... | 01:38 |
| dsdeiz | !minimal > dsdeiz | 01:38 |
| ubottu | dsdeiz, please see my private message | 01:38 |
| nkei0 | What's a good chatroom to go to for hardware questions? | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | bro: I don't know | 01:38 |
| seidos | back | 01:39 |
| beatbreaker | the script does nothing, when run in the termial it obviously says that the second display doesn't exist because i'm running xinerama now and it's effectivaly one display | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | bro: I know Intel graphic cards can be a right problem on 9.04, people have had ATI issues, SIS or whatever it was won't work, and Nivida is :) | 01:39 |
| bro | zebastian0, just install the 9.10 and if you're in trouble, blame me :) | 01:39 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, do you think i should install hardy heron with the ati ones? | 01:39 |
| Loder3331 | my gtx 295 caused me to have to re-install ubuntu | 01:39 |
| Loder3331 | nvidia card | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | bro: 9.10 not yet | 01:40 |
| bro | 9.04 | 01:40 |
| bro | damn | 01:40 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | What does /var/lib/samba do, and what kind of bad things will happen if its deleted? | 01:40 |
| seidos | zebastian0: did you find out what video chipset you have in your laptop? | 01:40 |
| zebastian0 | not to sound ignorant, but my assumption, gut feeling or whatever is that since 8.04 has been there for a long time as it is meant to be, it should be by now more debugged, but what do i know i'm a noob | 01:41 |
| seidos | zebastian0: 8.04 is probably a safer bet | 01:41 |
| ae | ubuntu hardy is currently using mysql server 5.0.x, intrepid+ are using 5.1.x - will hardy ever move up to 5.1? how can I find out about these policies? | 01:41 |
| bro | sebsebseb, that's what i told seidos, i don't think these driver issues are just jaunty-related | 01:41 |
| seidos | zebastian0: I suppose there is the possibility that a newer version works better with ati graphics cards | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: install 8.04 with a seperate home :) then try 9.10 when it 's out, I am thinking, or give 9.04 another go and make sure you install the correct driver | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: well you got an external hard disk now, so you don't need a seperate home as such now anyway | 01:42 |
| seidos | zebastian0: I know with my intel graphics card, 8.04 worked better after installation | 01:42 |
| test34 | Loder3331, why | 01:42 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, my chipset: ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 | 01:42 |
| Loder3331 | I installed the driver recommended to me by ubuntu and upon restart, I couldn't get anything on my screen | 01:42 |
| beatbreaker | what's the IRC channel for the X people? | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: yes 8.04 has a older and completly differnet version of xorg from what 8.10 and 9.04 have | 01:42 |
| beachdaze | need help setting up a webcam, a chicony CNF7051 specifically. It works in cheese, but not in skype or tinychat..any hints please? | 01:43 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb, you think it might work better for my ATI Radeon HD 3200 | 01:43 |
| zebastian0 | is there a way of checking? | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: 9.10 yes maybe when that's out | 01:43 |
| test34 | Loder3331, you could have edited you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the video driver from nvidia to nv | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: Live CD | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: trying Ubuntu from a Live CD is the way to test hardware before installing | 01:43 |
| Loder3331 | I'm new to linux and I have no idea how to do anything like that, and nobody here could help me with it at the time so I just reinstalled | 01:43 |
| test34 | Loder3331, thats what I just had to do after an upgrade in Karmic alpha | 01:44 |

| CoJaBo-Eee | Why would deleting a printer FUBAR the system? o_O | 01:44 |
| Loder3331 | test34, do you have any idea why things would be displaying incorrectly in another distribution of linux, with the same resolution? Everything is way too big and I can't do anything with it | 01:44 |
| test34 | Loder3331, you'll know for next time | 01:45 |
| arand | CoJaBo-Eee: deleting how? | 01:45 |
| bro | zebastian0, those are 64bit drivers, i'm not going that far to tell it's the same thing with 32bit | 01:46 |
| wzssyqa | lib32asound2-plugins replace ia32libs,is it a bug? | 01:46 |
| seidos | zebastian0: "...i have no loyalty except to eye candy." hahahaha | 01:46 |
| beatbreaker | durt, | 01:46 |
| beatbreaker | durt, thankx | 01:46 |
| seidos | zebastian0: are you running 64bit? | 01:46 |
| test34 | Loder3331, you could try to use the same /etcv/X11/xorg.conf in the other distribution (save the one that works right on a usb key or something)... are you sure it was the same resolution ? | 01:46 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | arand: I deleted a non-existant printer via settings GUI, and that massively broke the system. | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: you need to install the correct driver for your archecture so for 32bit or 64bit in your case it's 32bit I belive? | 01:46 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, bro, sebsebseb, my concern is this, shane2peru, said that he had the same problem with his ATI chip, and that it's because it overheats with the repo drivers, that ihave to wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run but i wonder if that will work for hardy | 01:47 |
| thiagocrepaldi | i just installed slapd (openldap server) and executed sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd to configure ldap server. it's done and working. However, i can't find slapd.conf anywhere. Where does ubuntu store it ? I am using a brand new ubuntu 9.04 server edition | 01:47 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | arand: Bug 303458 apearently. | 01:47 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/303458 | 01:47 |
| test34 | thiagocrepaldi, did you look in /etc | 01:47 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | What does /var/lib/samba do, and what kind of bad things will happen if its deleted? | 01:47 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: that driver is for 9.04 | 01:47 |
| zebastian0 | thats why i'm asking | 01:47 |
| zebastian0 | if it would be better to reinstall jaunty | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: it could maybe also work on hardy, but hardy will probably be fine for your ATI card | 01:48 |
| bro | zebastian0, those are the latest drivers | 01:48 |
| ugliefrog | is ther a open office channel ? i need help on a formula | 01:48 |
| zebastian0 | and by the way, that seems to be for 64 and i'm 32 | 01:48 |
| arand | CoJaBo-Eee: it's samba: file sharing protocol windows<>GNU/Linux | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: the latest ATI drivers probably aren't even made for the older version of xorg that hardy has | 01:48 |
| Loder3331 | yeah I checked using xrandrx. I'm not sure if that'll work. It only runs off of the dvd. It's specifically for gaming. I can't really see anything, so I can't really get into my folders or anything. I suppose I could use the terminal and try copying it | 01:48 |
| thiagocrepaldi | test34, yes. it should be on /etc/ldap | 01:48 |
| arand | CoJaBo-Eee: why you want to delete it? | 01:48 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru, said that he has the same problem, basically that his computer freezes when playing a movie because of overheating | 01:48 |
| thiagocrepaldi | i looked in /etc, /usr and /var using find command | 01:48 |
| durt | ugliefrog, http://searchirc.com | 01:49 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb that's exactly why i'm torn as to whether i should use hardy or jaunty | 01:49 |
| bro | zebastian0, 9.8 [9.9 version], those are the latest, the same on ATI website and ubuntu repos | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: you can test your card using the hardy Live CD, before installing anything | 01:49 |
| durt | thiagocrepaldi, if no one knows here try #ubuntu-server | 01:49 |
| seidos | zebastian0: they recommend here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1004955 that you install the restricted drivers suggested by the OS | 01:49 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | arand: Its currupt, preventing login of any kind. Deleting the whole dir fixes the problem, but what side-effects will that cause when I boot back into normal mode? | 01:49 |
| ugliefrog | durbin, ty | 01:49 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: the Hardy repo will have a differnet driver for your card than what the jauntey repo has | 01:50 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, yes but those were the oens that kept getting the computer stuck whenever i'd play a movie | 01:50 |
| bro | well, i never heared of "overheating drivers" before.... | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | bro: your looking at the offical log? | 01:50 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru said he had the same problem, that the drivers from the repo overheated his computer | 01:50 |
| zebastian0 | right | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: ok the driver from the repo didn't work, and you ended up with problems? | 01:50 |
| arand | CoJaBo-Eee: hopefully none if you don't use the protocol for shares, better would probably be reinstalling the samba packages though. | 01:50 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: then you try from the website and yep problems? | 01:50 |
| bro | sebsebseb, no, why? | 01:50 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb yes | 01:50 |
| zebastian0 | ultimately i want no problems whatsoever | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | bro: oh something about heating before | 01:51 |
| docko | i have a software raid1, a fail event has been detected on /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. then /dev/sdb just disappeared, how is it possible? | 01:51 |
| akn | umm ... i am having some trouble configuring dual boot ... what does root (hd0,0) means ? | 01:51 |
| zebastian0 | i want to run compix | 01:51 |
| zebastian0 | compiz | 01:51 |
| zebastian0 | and be able to watch movies | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: ok so both caused problems, the repo driver, as well as from the ATI site? | 01:51 |
| test34 | thiagocrepaldi, find /etc -name "slapd.conf" | 01:51 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | arand: I have several shares, but the settings for those are in /etc/sambasomething.conf, arent they? | 01:51 |
| Loder3331 | test34, where can I find that file? is it /etcv/X11/xorg.conf from my home directory? I don't see an etcv directory in my home folder, with hidden showing | 01:51 |
| bro | bro> well, i never heared of "overheating drivers" before.... | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: well obviosuly | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: This has been going on for quite a while now, I think it's time for you to install 8.04, test it from the Live CD first even | 01:52 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb, can you help me install the wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run ones | 01:52 |
| zebastian0 | and if it doesn't work | 01:52 |
| zebastian0 | i go back to hardy? | 01:52 |
| thiagocrepaldi | test34, i already tried that before asking here... it should be there.. i already reinstalled it several times. | 01:52 |
| seidos | sebsebseb: I 2nd that | 01:53 |
| zebastian0 | ok can you link me to the hardy heron 86 architectuure live cd one? | 01:53 |
| zebastian0 | i can't find it on the ubuntu website | 01:53 |

| zebastian0 | sebsebseb http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ which is the livecd? | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: 8.10 is after all better than 8.04 in certain ways that are worth it :) | 01:54 |
| zebastian0 | such as? | 01:54 |
| seidos | zebastian0: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 01:54 |

| sebsebseb | zebastian0: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy for 8.04 yep and http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid for 8.10 yep | 01:55 |
| test34 | ScarletSwordfish, why do you need to compile it ? | 01:56 |
| zebastian0 | will the programs that run on jaunty run on hardy? like skype and kde 4.3 etc? | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: yes that's the ISO for hardy | 01:56 |
| ScarletSwordfish | X-chat? because it's not compiled, as far as i know | 01:56 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: on the actsual ubuntu site hardy is also still available as a download by the way | 01:56 |

| sebsebseb | kevin___: np | 01:58 |
| test34 | Loder3331, then xorg.conf will be in your home folder | 01:58 |

| test34 | Loder3331, type: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf | 01:58 |
| zebastian0 | that's it i'm reinstalling jaunty then | 01:58 |
| Loder3331 | yeah, but when I want to paste it into the correct place in the other distro | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: what? | 01:58 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: I thought you were going 8.04? | 01:58 |

| zebastian0 | besides i can always try to install the ATI drivers properly with that guide shane2peru left | 01:59 |
| zebastian0 | will it have the same cool compiz effects from jaunty? | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: Hardy is actsaully better than 9.04 in certain ways :) | 02:00 |
| seidos | zebastian0: install LTS, get ati card working in it, then if you want to be courageous, upgrade | 02:00 |
| zebastian0 | will it work faster? | 02:00 |
| zebastian0 | will it overheat less? | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: just like Intrepid is better than Jauntey in certain ways | 02:00 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: and hopefuly 9.10 will be better than all of those | 02:00 |
| Loder3331 | test34, I have the file on my flash drive, now I need to know what to type in the other distro to put it where it goes | 02:00 |
| zebastian0 | i am downloading hardy on this laptop | 02:01 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: yeah what seidos said, and you can also try your card using the 8.04 and 8.10 Live CD before installing anything, and then pick one that it works with | 02:01 |
| zebastian0 | meanwhile i'll try to reinstall jaunty | 02:01 |

| test34 | sebsebseb, he knows they are different.. they would not make 2 version if they were the same | 02:04 |
| Loder3331 | test34, I just tried doing it here first, before I go to my other distro. It said Permission denied. To I have to put something in front of the command? | 02:04 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | What all functions does Samba do? I thought it just provided SMB shares and stuff, but apparently it does more? | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | demo: ask in #winehq | 02:04 |
| LordMetroid | I am going to buy myzelf a Zotac IONITX motherboard for use in my HTPC/server so I am unsure if I want the netbook remix or the normal one | 02:04 |
| demo | thanks sebsebseb | 02:04 |
| test34 | Loder3331, sudo | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | test34: ok | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | demo: no problem and good luck | 02:05 |
| robb | test34: "easycrypt" is avail on sources...this works? | 02:05 |
| seidos | zebastian0: good luck | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: yeah good luck | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: ah | 02:05 |
| test34 | robb, never tried that one sorry | 02:05 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: above that was for you | 02:05 |
| robb | m, hm | 02:05 |
| LordMetroid | I just want to run XBMC now and than and mainly use it as my web-server, fileserver, git repositories, etc... | 02:05 |
| robb | give'r a whirl i reckon | 02:05 |
| DJAshnar | Question : On an Asus EEE PC 701 4G surf, running Ubuntu 9.04, how can I fix the SD card mount issue? | 02:06 |
| Loder3331 | ok thanks test34, I'm going to go try that and see what happens | 02:06 |
| dsdeiz | !widhe | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about widhe | 02:06 |
| bobertdos | CoJaBo-Eee: It does pretty much anything pertaining to sharing between Unix and Windows. File shares, printer shares, setting up as a sharing server........ | 02:07 |
| zebastian0 | what is wubi= | 02:08 |
| bobertdos | !wubi | zebastian0 | 02:08 |
| ubottu | zebastian0: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 02:08 |
| robb | test34: apt-get truecrypt? | 02:08 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | bobertdos: Well, currupt Samba config files FUBARd any kind of login (su/sudo, ssh, even text terminals), so something more is going on o_O | 02:08 |
| * CoJaBo-Eee still doesnt get how deleting a printer can FUBAR the entire system | 02:08 | |
| test34 | robb, the good thing with truecypt is that it is also availble for Windows: http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads | 02:09 |
| robb | windows :) | 02:09 |
| test34 | robb, just copy linux version and windows version on your external drive and you can use it anywhere (they also have mac) | 02:10 |
| robb | oh i see | 02:10 |
| robb | well, i think for now the hdd stays attached to this box | 02:10 |
| robb | but thanks for future pointer! | 02:10 |
| DJAshnar | How do I get Ubuntu 9.04 to recognize the SD card on my Asus 701 4G surf? | 02:10 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb if i chose catalan on my ubuntu install it won't change the outputs from terminal or the sudo apt get style commands right? it's basically gui and keyboard layout settings right? | 02:10 |
| test34 | ok np robb | 02:10 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: I don't know, maybe seidos or someone like that knows | 02:11 |
| bobertdos | CoJaBo-Eee: Well, once installed, Samba does integrate itself into the OS pretty heavily, and I know the Samba=Common packages contain some shared components. | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: also if you do a thread with loads of details about your card on the forum, that could be useful | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: and about stuff that you did to try and get it working | 02:12 |
| Loafers | How do I reset ubutnu font defaults? I installed wine and it f****** up my fonts and this is the third time this has happened. I even tried removing msfonts and all those fonts but it still looks terrible... Why hasn't this been FIXED!?!??!!? | 02:13 |
| zebastian0 | seidos, if i chose catalan as the default language on ubuntu it will not change the outputs of shell and so into catalan right? those settings are pretty much for the gui right? | 02:13 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | bobertdos: Do you know anything about the /var/lib/samba folder? Deleting it fixes the system to a usable state (at least in recovery mode), but is it going to blow up once I reboot to normal mode? oo_O | 02:13 |
| MagnoFlux | my ubuntus graphics messed up - how can i fix it | 02:13 |

| rob____ | anyone interested in helping me with a dependency problem i'm having instaling pidgin on 8.10? | 02:14 |
| seidos | zebastian0: I don't know what catalan is | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | Loafers: ask in #winehq | 02:14 |
| Loafers | sebsebseb: it also happens when i install msttcorefonts, and when i remove the package the fonts dont' revert back to the original | 02:14 |
| ScarletSwordfish | test34: i do not see any "add universe repositories" option | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | Loafers: purge the package or something, and you can delete the hidden .wine folder in home, to get like a default Wine again | 02:15 |
| zaccour | should i install epiphany browser or epiphany gecko browser? | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | Loafers: and the menu shortcuts are in .local I think | 02:15 |
| Loafers | sebsebseb: i purged all the font packages | 02:15 |
| Loafers | sebsebseb: sudo dpkg --purge ttf-arphic-uming ttf-kochi-gothic ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-thai-tlwg ttf-arabeyes ttf-indic-fonts-core ttf-lao ttf-malayalam-fonts ttf-unfonts-core msttcorefonts | 02:15 |
| zaccour | epiphany vs epiphany gecko which should i choose? google is no help | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: by default it uses Gecko I think :) ,but Webkit is also a good rendering engine | 02:16 |
| zaccour | sebsebseb, whats webkit? | 02:16 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: even though it was started by Apple who aren't exactly Linux friendly, but Webkit is open source so :d it's also Apples fork of KTHML what Konqueror uses | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: Gecko and Webkit are rendering enginges | 02:17 |
| bobertdos | CoJaBo-Eee: I can't say I know much about that directory. It doesn't look like it would necessarily be the most damaging directory to remove though. Have you tried purging the packages? | 02:17 |
| zaccour | sebastien_, but how do i know which one to choose? | 02:17 |
| Esteth | Does anyone know how to get the vmhgfs module to compile for VMware tools on the latest ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: by default you should get Gecko | 02:17 |
| zebastian0 | what is the advantage of the ext4 files system? | 02:17 |
| zaccour | sebsebseb, so i should select epiphany gecko instead of epiphany? | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: fast boot up, fast shut down, and fast disk checking | 02:18 |
| zebastian0 | will the next LTS have that file system? | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: yes by default and also 9.10 will have it by default | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: sudo apt-get install epiphany | 02:18 |
| ammadeusy | hello | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: then it will also install anything else that it needs to install | 02:18 |
| jmarsden | zebastian0: See http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/New_ext4_features | 02:18 |
| ammadeusy | can i ask basic questions here? | 02:18 |
| zaccour | thanks | 02:18 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | ammadeusy | 02:19 |
| ubottu | ammadeusy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:19 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | bobertdos: No, but it doesnt look like that would have worked. AFAICT, that dir only stores config for features I dont use. So I think I;m safe. I hope... | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: it's just Epiphany can also now use Webkit | 02:19 |
| asdqwe | winbox on kubuntu?... | 02:19 |
| zebastian0 | is it possible for me to install ext4 on jaunty? | 02:19 |
| test34 | ScarletSwordfish, you cant also: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:19 |
| bobertdos | CoJaBo-Eee: Yeah, I'd think so. | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: yes, but it's not properly stable, because of the kernel they have and that | 02:19 |

| Guest3212 | hey guys...i currently have a test server, and then my actual....now my friend wants me to build him a server and i want to do it....but i want to make sure that any updates he gets have been tested for problems on my server...so how can i set up a repository to auto update from and how do i place updates from the normal repository that i deem stable into my repository | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: Why not do it in English? Your English is good enough, plus if your going to use this channal for support it will make things easier | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | deco: well I think I have heard of it before | 02:23 |
| zaccour | ok i installed epiphany, now where can i find the epiphany icon? there is none | 02:23 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: ah yes this issue, easy to fix though | 02:24 |
| ammadeusy | flannel: didnt get this webchat... why use that? | 02:24 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: What's wrong with Firefox in Ubuntu for you? I also quite like Galeon as an alternative | 02:24 |
| Flannel | ammadeusy: If your proxy doesn't allow you to connect other than those ports, you can use the webchat | 02:24 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb, can i install ubuntu on a netbook using a normal livecd and an external cd drive? | 02:24 |

| sebsebseb | zebastian0: I thought you were going to re install on a lap top or desktop, not a netbook? | 02:24 |
| jmarsden | ammadeusy: Because you say you can't get to the IRC server ports via your proxy... http://webchat.freenode.net/ will use port 80 which your proxy supports. | 02:25 |

| sebsebseb | zaccour: not speed or any of that | 02:26 |
| ammadeusy | sometimes it is needed, dude. | 02:26 |
| deco | zaccour: you are welcome , tell me if it works | 02:26 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: also re installing the package, should add it to the menu, or logging out of Ubuntu and back in again | 02:26 |
| zaccour | deco, still don't see the icon in the menu | 02:26 |
| zaccour | sebsebseb, so i need to uninstall then reinstall? | 02:27 |
| deco | zaccour: log out and log in again | 02:27 |
| ammadeusy | well. ok. thank you anyway. :) | 02:27 |
| zaccour | deco, i will try that brb thanks | 02:27 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: plus to help with browser/renderingengine market share, it's better for people to be using Firefox :) since that's number two after the worst browser of all IE. That will also help with web standards support :) which helps make the web become better overall. | 02:28 |
| IdleOne | When trying to play .avi with movie player or VLC both start up and crash. libdvdcss2 and ubuntu-restricted-extras are both installed. any ideas? | 02:28 |
| jmarsden | ammadeusy: If you tried encrypting IM on my network to try and hide policy violation, I'd probably spot the weird looking encrypted stream, note what the endpoint is, and bust you for that anyway... if you want to work there, and not be busted, don't IM from there. Period. | 02:28 |

| zaccour | still not in the menu :( | 02:29 |

| tehbaut_ | anyone know how to get win7-style app grouping and window previews? | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | zaccour: Epiphany uses Gecko by default, and it can also use Webkit as I said before, both rendering engines are very good. Gecko is also the one Firefox uses. However webserver statistics don't get the rendering engin people are using instead they get the browser. There will be web developers out there that have no idea what Epiphany or Galeon or whatever use, but they will know what Firefox uses. | 02:31 |

| notwist | d3Lt40n3: what are you talking about | 02:35 |
| lstarnes | d3Lt40n3: it is recommended that you have one, and ubuntu comes with iptables and ufw preinstalled | 02:36 |
| sebsebseb | d3Lt40n3: yes whatever OS your using if it's Internet connected you should have an enabled firewall | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | bobertdos: this is what I get when trying to play http://paste.ubuntu.com/271303/ | 02:36 |
| usser | IdleOne, that usually means the problem with video drivers | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | usser: libdvdcss2 and ubuntu-restricted-extras are installed. Anything else I should install? | 02:38 |
| sebsebseb | !iptables | d3Lt40n3 | 02:38 |
| ubottu | d3Lt40n3: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 02:38 |

| ubottu | d3Lt40n3: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 02:43 |
| zebastian0 | how do i get the language packages, i installed ubuntu in catalan but it says it's got incomplete language packages | 02:44 |
| IdleOne | usser: not to mention if I try to enable 3d graphics it tells me none available | 02:44 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: wow, that is some serious log keeping. :) | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: have you got rid of your 9.04 install yet? | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: indeed | 02:44 |
| bobertdos | !pm > khaled | 02:45 |
| ubottu | khaled, please see my private message | 02:45 |
| IdleOne | usser: but like I said I don't need 3d or compiz | 02:45 |
| d3Lt40n3 | oppss!!im talking to a bot.. | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | !thanks | d3Lt40n3 | 02:45 |
| ubottu | d3Lt40n3: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 02:45 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb yes i installed jaunty again, and now i'm trying to get the remaining language packages to install it in catalan | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | d3Lt40n3: you didn't put thanks, but it's !thanks reply works for what you put :D | 02:45 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: I'm back. :) | 02:45 |
| d3Lt40n3 | thanks | 02:45 |
| IdleOne | usser: any other ideas? | 02:45 |
| khaled | bobertdos: yes just the source files! | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: As I already suggested, why not do it in English? | 02:46 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: you are still going to need to install the proprietary drivers | 02:46 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: the ati drivers in the repos are old or something, not sure. | 02:46 |
| zebastian0 | sebsebseb because i don't speak english | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: Your English is good enough, and it will make support easier, if your going to use this channal for it | 02:46 |
| usser | IdleOne, try a different renderer. like X11 | 02:46 |
| bobertdos | khaled: If you have to, right-click to use gedit. I like jEdit, but of course to use jEdit to its fullest, you want to install Sun Java first. | 02:46 |
| IdleOne | usser: explain please | 02:46 |
| seidos | zebastian0: you type english but don't speak english? | 02:46 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: you don't speak English???, you had me fooled. :) | 02:46 |
| Ashy | hello | 02:46 |
| Ashy | has anyone here used xen with ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| zebastian0 | SHANE2PERU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant even read english! :) | 02:46 |
| * zebastian0 embraces shane to peru | 02:47 | |
| IdleOne | Ashy: ask your next question which is the real one :) | 02:47 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: heh | 02:47 |
| shane2peru | Dr_Willis: lol :) | 02:47 |
| Ashy | i can't seem to get my internet working after installing xen on ubuntu 8.04 | 02:47 |
| * zebastian0 reinstalls english ubuntu jauynty | 02:47 | |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: zebastian0 just tried to make you famous :D | 02:47 |
| usser | IdleOne, there are different "ways" to render a video on linux, there's xvideo that you use, opengl, x11, and some others | 02:47 |
| Ashy | ive also tried ubuntu 9.04 | 02:47 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: lol, he can try, I'm not sure it will work | 02:47 |
| usser | IdleOne, try a different renderer, X11, it should be somewhere in the players settings | 02:47 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru, i need you to help me install those drivers | 02:47 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: you can also change the language some how to English | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !xen | 02:47 |
| ubottu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 02:47 |
| seidos | zebastian0: hahaha | 02:47 |
| Bluey | I am having a problem with irc ident server (pidentd) could some one take a look at this and tell me what I am doing wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/271286/ | 02:47 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: ok, you have a fresh install, and are ready to go? | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | usser: ok lemme poke around | 02:48 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: you even have a desktop to work with this time? | 02:48 |
| kevin___ | hello | 02:48 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru nope, just in the process of doing the fresh install | 02:48 |
| Ashy | Dr_Willis, cheers man | 02:48 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: did you start yet? | 02:48 |
| zebastian0 | the fresh install? | 02:48 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: right, the new install | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | usser and bobertdos thank you for your help :) | 02:49 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: there is a way to change the install to ENglish | 02:49 |
| === mactimes_ is now known as mactimes | ||
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: ,but since your going to be mainly using the terminal anyway | 02:49 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru i'm in the midst of it, i am doing hte fresh install agian | 02:49 |
| zebastian0 | in english | 02:49 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian0: I guess right now it doesn't really matter | 02:49 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: I think if we install the ati drivers, it may fix the problem, but I'm not sure what all has been changed now | 02:49 |
| usser | IdleOne, but X11 doesnt support proper video scaling, ie no full screen :) | 02:49 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: ok, that is fine, we will get the drivers installed the right way thist ime | 02:49 |
| seidos | shane2peru: do you have an ati card? | 02:49 |
| tehbaut_ | mount -f /dev/sda2 ...says... "can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" | 02:49 |
| guest9214 | How do you change the look of the bootlader? Right now ubuntu is first, and i want my vista install #1 | 02:49 |
| === mirco_ is now known as mirco | ||
| sebsebseb | guest9214: why Vista first, and that's easy to change | 02:50 |
| tehbaut_ | so how can I mount /dev/sda2 ? | 02:50 |
| shane2peru | seidos: I have the same card he has actually | 02:50 |
| IdleOne | usser: the sacrifices we have to make.... :) | 02:50 |
| seidos | shane2peru: cool | 02:50 |
| shane2peru | seidos: well, mine is one number off, but same driver | 02:50 |
| seidos | shane2peru: good luck | 02:50 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: yeah that's what you said earlier, he should have someone that has the same card helping him | 02:50 |
| shane2peru | seidos: my laptop overheated with over 5 or 6 different distros I installed trying to fix the prob | 02:50 |
| guest9214 | sebsebseb: so if i leave it accidentally, it'll boot to vista instead of ubuntu | 02:50 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: not using your exact wording just then | 02:50 |
| tehbaut_ | mount -f /dev/sda2 ...says... "can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" ...so how can I mount /dev/sda2 ? | 02:50 |
| usser | IdleOne, you dont have to, xvideo should work with intel cards, unless the pc is really really old | 02:51 |
| seidos | shane2peru: I remember you talking to sebsebseb about it after sebsebseb directed me to the #ubuntu logs | 02:51 |
| Bluey | teh -- do you have a mount point? | 02:51 |
| tehbaut_ | maybe not | 02:51 |
| IdleOne | usser: pc is a couple years old | 02:51 |
| Bluey | mkdir <mountpoint goes here? | 02:51 |
| seidos | shane2peru: what are you running now? os wise? | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: yes ok, but I am curious as to why you want Vista as the default boot | 02:51 |
| shane2peru | seidos: running Suse on the laptop, but my main box has Ubuntu | 02:51 |
| shane2peru | seidos: still not fixed, been considering putting Koala on there just for kicks | 02:52 |
| seidos | shane2peru: what brand laptop? | 02:52 |
| tehbaut_ | Bluey: wondering why ubuntu won't do all that in gui though? | 02:52 |
| shane2peru | seidos: Toshiba Satellite | 02:52 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:52 |
| Bluey | teh - that's all done at the comand line | 02:52 |
| khaled | bobertdos:ok i downloaded jedit & java runtime environment, but still it opens just like a text file, it doesn't "execute" anything!? | 02:52 |
| shane2peru | seidos: it is AMD processor, ATI drivers, and the worse laptop I have ever installed Linux on. | 02:52 |
| seidos | shane2peru: I have a satellite, intel graphics though | 02:52 |
| guest9214 | vista has all of my documents and programs, and i'm using ubuntu to learn linux commands | 02:52 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: vista as default boot so mom and dad/wife/gf don't freak out when something they don't know boots up :) | 02:53 |
| shane2peru | seidos: I have an old Toshiba has always run great with Linux | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: I see well as long as Vista shut itself down properly, you can access and use that partition from Ubuntu | 02:53 |
| tehbaut_ | Bluey: only one of four partitions actually mounted on its own (via the UI) | 02:53 |
| shane2peru | seidos: also intel | 02:53 |
| tehbaut_ | kinda odd | 02:53 |
| tehbaut_ | no error messages either | 02:53 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: not this time by the sounds of it | 02:53 |
| seidos | shane2peru: do you use it? | 02:53 |
| shane2peru | seidos: the kids do now, it has been dropped, dumped on, etc. still kicking | 02:53 |
| guest9214 | sebsebseb: I know, i can and have, that's just what i want | 02:54 |
| usser | IdleOne, can you pastebin the output of glxinfo and uname -a and lsb_release -a and lspci | grep VGA commands | 02:54 |
| seidos | shane2peru: cool | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: ok I already told you how to access the file you need to edit | 02:54 |
| usser | IdleOne, lets see whats up | 02:54 |
| kevin___ | hi | 02:54 |
| shane2peru | seidos: I bought it with warranty, and got my money back when the screen on it died | 02:54 |
| guest9214 | sebsebseb: ok, so i entered the cmd into terminal, now what? | 02:54 |
| Bluey | teh -- do you have a mount point? | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: it should have opended up the file | 02:54 |
| IdleOne | usser: sure gimme a minute | 02:54 |
| kevin___ | what is the rename command, sorry i had it a little while ago, i just forgot it | 02:54 |
| guest9214 | sebsebseb: yes | 02:54 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: after you put your password in as well | 02:54 |
| guest9214 | sebsebseb: got it | 02:54 |
| shane2peru | seidos: put a screen in it, and it just keeps running. | 02:55 |
| usser | kevin___, mv | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: at the bottom there should be Ubuntu and Vista | 02:55 |
| usser | kevin___, mv oldname newname | 02:55 |
| quartknee | If I download tar.gz packages for third-party apps, how can I install them via terminal? I've tried all the basic commands but continue getting error messages. | 02:55 |
| kevin___ | what | 02:55 |
| kevin___ | ? | 02:55 |
| Myth` | 1337 people in room. Awesome. | 02:55 |
| seidos | shane2peru: I set up an old dell as a webserver | 02:55 |
| Myth` | Any audio experts in the channel? | 02:55 |
| usser | kevin___, the rename command is mv | 02:55 |
| shane2peru | kevin___: mv is basically the same as rename | 02:55 |
| kevin___ | ooooh | 02:55 |
| kevin___ | thanks | 02:55 |
| Bluey | kevin mv filea fileb | 02:55 |
| guest9214 | sebsebseb: i see "# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS | 02:55 |

| guest9214 | makeactive | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: in those enteries put Vista as the first one, that should take care of it, also hopefuly you will change it back soon :) ,because you will be more comfortable with Ubuntu | 02:55 |
| kevin___ | am i kburts now? | 02:56 |
| tehbaut_ | Bluey: a mount point was automatically created by ubuntu's GUI for the other partition, I don't know why I have to create a mountpoint and mount manually, but if you don't know why that could be then I'll continue doing it that way | 02:56 |
| shane2peru | seidos: I my main box as a server for a while, was a lot of work to get the ports forwarded through router etc, finally quit messing with it. | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: updating Grub or maybe even installing a newer kernel, will make it not be default boot anymore, but then you can edit the file again | 02:56 |
| Bluey | teh o I don't sorry - I just know that works....ru using automount? | 02:57 |
| rashed2020 | Would this make a working bash script? http://pastebin.com/m77d7e7cf .. It runs fine but doesn't do what the second and third line are supposed to. | 02:57 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: he didn't move his entry did he? | 02:57 |
| fez | ahahahahaha @ Windows Vista | 02:57 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: on grub? | 02:57 |
| kevin___ | oooh i see, i asked the question | 02:57 |
| kevin___ | wrong | 02:57 |
| sebsebseb | shane2peru: no it's at the bottom by default like that or whatever | 02:57 |
| kevin___ | how do i rename myself in irc? like that's the /... command? | 02:57 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: ok, I lost mine once doing that. :) | 02:57 |
| Gaming4JC | Hello All, just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on dual boot with Vista and all was great. Then I installed an ATI Radeon graphics driver FGLRX? And Ubuntu fails to boot and looks garbled <-- HELP! lol | 02:57 |

| Bluey | teh -- no it must be instructed to use automount -- | 02:58 |
| Kburts | ahaa i is now KBURTS!! | 02:58 |
| IdleOne | usser: how do I fix it? | 02:58 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: what graphics card do you have? | 02:59 |
| IdleOne | usser: or is it part of the known intel regression? | 02:59 |
| Gaming4JC | ATI Radeon 4820 HD Sapphire | 02:59 |
| chickenhead | hi | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: have you sorted it out now? | 02:59 |

| khaled | could anyone help please? i need to "execute" a java source file (.java file) , how can i do this? | 02:59 |
| shane2peru | sebsebseb: I hate ATI :) | 02:59 |
| usser | IdleOne, i've had that on fedora 11 and it was because of a crippled driver that they shipped | 02:59 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: how did it get messed up? | 02:59 |
| usser | IdleOne, pastebin you /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:59 |

| IdleOne | usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/271313/ | 03:01 |
| guest9214 | Yes, i just have to reboot now. Thanks, man! | 03:01 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: I have dial-up so I installed them via packages then went into System>> Hardware and activated. After restart it failed. Packages were all of the above listed here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fglrx&searchon=names&suite=jaunty§ion=all | 03:01 |
| Kburts | hmm | 03:02 |
| Gaming4JC | I'm running on Vista now since Ubuntu is borked | 03:02 |
| Gaming4JC | :P | 03:02 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: so you just installed them from the repo? | 03:02 |
| Kburts | andone here using irssi? | 03:02 |
| Gaming4JC | Shane2peru: yes | 03:02 |
| Kburts | *anyone | 03:02 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: I mean you didn't go downloading them from anywhere right? | 03:02 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: I downloaded them from this url: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fglrx&searchon=names&suite=jaunty§ion=all | 03:02 |
| Gaming4JC | and installed them in order | 03:02 |
| Kburts | wekk | 03:03 |
| IdleOne | Kburts: ask your next question. The one you want the answer to :) | 03:03 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: I recommend you install the ones from the ATI web site, it is probably close to 100MB download | 03:03 |
| Kburts | well | 03:03 |
| Kburts | oooh | 03:03 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: bummer I have dial-up - just made a trip to get them on highspeed. | 03:03 |
| beatbreak | what's the command to move the mouse pointer to a certian geometry? | 03:03 |
| Gaming4JC | lol | 03:03 |
| usser | IdleOne, line 154 (**) intel(0): DRI is disabled because it fails to run without freezing on i810 and i865G chips. (See LP 304871) | 03:03 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: Meanwhile how can I uninstall these things | 03:03 |
| usser | IdleOne, as it says see LP 304871, im assuming its a bug report number | 03:04 |
| IdleOne | usser: yes it is | 03:04 |
| usser | IdleOne, you may try enabling UXA instead of EXA but i doubt it will help | 03:04 |
| quartknee | Hello! How do I use terminal to install tarballs? Is it possible to install things outside of the sources.list? | 03:04 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: hmm, let me think about that one, installing the web site ones I know how to do, but uninstalling those, let me search the repos. | 03:05 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: you can boot into terminal right? recovery mode terminal and get a command line? | 03:05 |
| usser | IdleOne, add this line to your Device section in xorg.conf Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" like here http://pastebin.com/m303158ff | 03:05 |
| digilord | Does the utility still exist that lets you choose what OS you want to boot on next reboot? | 03:06 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: ok thanks - right now I borked it so bad it won't boot even in recovry mode. Just shows up with lines all over the screen and won't give me access to a terminal | 03:06 |
| beatbreak | what's the command to move the mouse pointer to a certian geometry? | 03:06 |
| MrSchmo | hey guys im going to upgrade to firefox 3.5 and was wondering if its better and more stable than firefox 3? | 03:06 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: when grub comes up, hit e and you can edit the boot line, the main boot line add a 3 to the end and it should leave you in terminal | 03:06 |
| guest9214 | sebsebseb: I asked you about the bootloader. It worked, but now windows has made its own bootloader so i have two now, both that allow me to do the same thing | 03:06 |
| usser | IdleOne, you're on 9.04 right? | 03:06 |
| IdleOne | usser: yes | 03:07 |
| eboyjr | Hi. Can I have /dev/tty6 be an automatic remote login to my server? | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: oh | 03:07 |
| usser | IdleOne, yea so try UXA | 03:07 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: ok that sounds good. | 03:07 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: I assume you are working on a separate computer? | 03:07 |
| Gaming4JC | no | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: ok is that a proper psyiical install, or did you use Wubi? | 03:07 |
| guest9214 | what should i do? either one works | 03:07 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru, i am right about to finish the clean install, i have to do what's noted in response 21 on this thread first though https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/364706 | 03:07 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: dual booting... :-/ | 03:07 |
| zer0rez | i'm trying to activate my nvidia accelerated graphics drivers and i get an error that the jokey backend has crashed | 03:07 |

| guest9214 | physical. I have a dediacated partiton | 03:08 |
| Gaming4JC | :( | 03:08 |
| sebsebseb | guest9214: ok pastebin your menu.lst file and i'll take a look | 03:08 |
| guest9214 | what was the terminal command again? | 03:08 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: ok, I can give you the instructions and you are going to have to write them down and type them in | 03:08 |
| Gaming4JC | ok will do | 03:09 |
| IdleOne | user I can't find Section "Device" | 03:09 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: we are going into uncharted waters for me, so I can't promise this will work, but it may | 03:09 |
| IdleOne | usser: I can't find Section "Device" | 03:09 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: after you type 3 on the grub boot menu, hit b for boot and it should leave you at a command prompt | 03:09 |
| usser | IdleOne, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 03:09 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: sounds good for me. Then what :) | 03:10 |
| IdleOne | usser: :) | 03:10 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: then we are going to remove what you installed and see what happens with a reboot | 03:10 |
| usser | IdleOne, found it? | 03:10 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: sudo apt-get remove fglrx-* | 03:10 |
| IdleOne | usser: yes | 03:10 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: writing that down now... | 03:11 |
| mow | lol...this chan is hard to follow | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | mow: it can be yes | 03:11 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: then type reboot and try to boot into it again the normal way and see if that works, I have my doubts about it, but lets try that. | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | mow: hence why we autocomplete | 03:11 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: looking now | 03:11 |

| zebastian0 | shane2peru those are for 64 bit and mine is 32 shane2peru | 03:20 |
| Samus | raeldenk_: which filesystem ? and probably not | 03:21 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: ok, you installed jaunty 32 bit correct? | 03:21 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru that's correct | 03:21 |

| usser_ | IdleOne, hm. i couldnt find anything on that LP presumably bug report | 03:24 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: It worked! I used a recovery shell typed the command, and then reconfigured Xorg. Now it's back to normal. Thank You!!! :D | 03:24 |
| eliotn | this is pretty interesting | 03:24 |
| Samus | n8tuser: but how is it rotating things when "logrotate" doesn't exist on the server ? | 03:24 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: do you know where the official ATI radeon drivers for 64bit Jaunty are? :) | 03:24 |
| IdleOne | usser_: launchpad.net search for the number | 03:24 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: glad it workd for you | 03:24 |
| MeGa | hey guys sup | 03:25 |
| n8tuser | Samus-> did you looked in that file? | 03:25 |
| Samus | bucky: again, there is no "logrotate" binary on the system, as far as I can tell. I replaced /usr/sbin/logrotate with a symlink to /bin/true | 03:25 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru ok i'm there, linux x86 | 03:25 |
| dm-madman | Wondering if anyone here knows what kind of images IE6 properly displays transpaaarent backgrounds with | 03:25 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: are you having problems with the drivers that are being used at the moment? | 03:25 |
| Samus | n8tuser: yes | 03:25 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: ok, select Radeon | 03:25 |
| IdleOne | usser_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/304871 | 03:25 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: Not anything noticable, but there's no graphic acceleration for 3d apps. | 03:25 |
| bobertdos | MagnoFlux: So, do you actually get as far as logging in? | 03:25 |
| unop | dm-madman, png definitely | 03:25 |
| n8tuser | Samus-> also look in /etc/logrotate.d | 03:26 |
| Samus | dm-madman: 8bit or less PNG images are fine, alpha-blended are not | 03:26 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: then select ATI Radeon hd 3xxx series and download that | 03:26 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru ok selected radeon and now which do i select | 03:26 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: ^^^^ see above | 03:26 |
| MagnoFlux | •bobertdos• no - i dont even get as far as than - on grub it auto starts ubuntu - and black screen arrives | 03:26 |
| Samus | n8tuser: I don't want to use logrotate, I want to find out how it is running when it doesn't exist ... | 03:26 |
| tehbaut_ | mounting /dev/sda2 is rerturning 'type unknown' ... any ideas why and what to do about it? | 03:26 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru next page i download right? | 03:26 |

| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: if you really want to try and get the 3d stuff then you can install the proprietary drivers from the web site, but somehow that leaves you out in the cold when it comes to ubuntu support | 03:27 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: correct | 03:27 |
| ramiro | how do I upgrade firefox to 3.5 without having to update all my packages or download the binary from firefox's website? | 03:27 |
| coz_ | tehbaut, if no one can answer that here right now you can also try the #linux channel | 03:27 |
| sebsebseb | !ff35 | ramiro | 03:27 |
| ubottu | ramiro: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 03:27 |
| bucky | Samus, dpkg -L logrotate if you have linux then you have logrotate | 03:28 |
| tehbaut_ | coz_ thanks for the tip :) | 03:28 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: so how important is 3d to ya? | 03:28 |
| ramiro | sebsebseb: thanks | 03:28 |
| sebsebseb | ramiro: np | 03:28 |
| coz_ | tehbaut, no problem they have an overal linux approach so I often suggest that channel as an alternative | 03:28 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: fairly important, I use Blender tons and play some 3d games often -- it helps with Wine as well. | 03:28 |
| n8tuser | Samus-> did you also look at what syslogd is doing? | 03:28 |
| heogen | ikonia, are you there? | 03:28 |
| Samus | bucky: are you really new to GNU+Linux operating systems ? I have said four or five times already that I removed the "logrotate" executable from the system and replaced it with a symlink to /bin/true. | 03:28 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: back up first. :) I have them installed and works fine | 03:29 |
| heogen | ikonia, how have you been? | 03:29 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: are you running 64bit or 32? | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | usser_: anymore thoughts? | 03:29 |
| bucky | Samus, why did you do that? | 03:29 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: 64bit Jaunty | 03:29 |
| br34l | \o/ | 03:29 |
| Gaming4JC | Shane2peru: Core i7 920 if the cpu matters :) | 03:29 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: how new are you to linux? | 03:30 |
| zebastian0 | shane2peru downloading | 03:30 |
| MagnoFlux | •bobertdos• seems i gotta roll for today - thx for lookin at my prob tho - ill bbl | 03:30 |
| Samus | bucky: because I don't want log files to ever rotate | 03:30 |
| bucky | Samus, if you just go about rm'ing files you're going to screw up your package manager | 03:30 |
| shane2peru | zebastian0: ok, when it is done, installation should be simple | 03:30 |
| Gaming4JC | Shane2peru: I've used Ubuntu since Hardy Heron -- tested Live CDs out since Hoary HedgeHog | 03:30 |
| Samus | bucky: and Ubuntu doesn't give you the option to remove the package without removing most of the system | 03:30 |
| Gaming4JC | Shane2peru: So I know my way around terminals and have a novice/intermediate feel for them | 03:31 |
| bucky | Samus, actually it does.. it's called equivs | 03:31 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: ok, here is the link: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML | 03:31 |
| Samus | bucky: you can't screw up apt by removing files, unless those files are part of apt's configuration. and as I said, I didn't remove any files, I replaced the system default | 03:31 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: look at the instructions too, and you should be able to install it | 03:31 |
| rashed2020 | Guys, I have a bash script that runs fine when I run it manually. But doesn't when in a cronjob. Any clues? | 03:32 |
| Samus | bucky: you're still missing the point: how is Ubuntu rotating my log files when my system doesn't have a logrotate binary on it ? | 03:32 |
| usser_ | IdleOne, seems fishy, some people claim the issue is the kernel others blame the driver | 03:32 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: you should be able to install that yourself, fairly easily, just make sure you look at the instructions | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | usser_: so for now I am stuck in limbo | 03:33 |
| Gaming4JC | shane2peru: Thanks for the info! :D looking into it now... | 03:33 |
| usser_ | IdleOne, i dunno, if you have enough expertise you can try building your own kernel or just wait for karmic koala | 03:33 |
| usser_ | IdleOne, yea pretty much | 03:33 |
| ramiro | rashed2020: .bashrc isn't sourced? | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | usser_: I will wait but thanks for your help :) | 03:33 |
| shane2peru | Gaming4JC: no prob, if you run into a snag I will probably be here | 03:33 |
| usser_ | IdleOne, no problem | 03:33 |

| Samus | bucky: I do know that you can't harm apt by deleting a file in /usr/sbin as you suggested (which I didn't do, I replaced it). no need to get snarky at me just because you couldn't answer my question and gave out misinformation | 03:39 |

| shane2peru | zebastian: did you get it downloaded? | 03:43 |
| zebastian | shane2peru, yes | 03:43 |
| zebastian | now what do i do | 03:43 |
| Samus | n8tuser: I said several times that I replaced the /usr/sbin/logrotate binary with a symlink to /bin/true. I also replaced the contents of /etc/cron.daily/logrotate with only "/bin/true" in it | 03:43 |
| shane2peru | ok, to install this it is best to go to a tty terminal and we are going to kill x, so you are going to need to write these instructions down | 03:44 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ^^^^^ | 03:44 |
| zebastian | shane2peru, hold on a moment | 03:44 |
| zebastian | i'll be right back ok | 03:44 |

| tyler_d | joeb3_: no | 03:45 |
| n8tuser | Samus-> and you restarted syslogd afterwards? | 03:45 |
| kudi1 | mplayer was working fine b4 this is the error i get when trying to play a song from my library in sonata: | 03:45 |

| n8tuser | yeah that would be an effective syslogd restart... | 03:46 |
| joeb3_ | SuperMiguel, apps, system tools, virtualbox | 03:46 |
| kudi1 | how do you copy in xterm? | 03:47 |

| mow | SuperMiguel > try VirtualBox in term | 03:47 |
| Samus | not to mention the cron.daily file for it doesn't have anything in it other than /bin/true | 03:47 |

Im new to linux and Im trying to get it to connect to the internet (Im using the ubunutu server edition, latest version) and It keeps getting destination host unreachable when I try to ping any ip adress. I had followed a guide to get it set up, so it has a static IP adress, but I dont think I changed much else. or if anyone can point me in the direction of a guide for this kind of problem | 03:53 |
| zebaztian | while i fiddle on here | 03:53 |
| shane2peru | zebaztian: oh, wait, we don't have to kill x in Ubuntu, we are fine | 03:54 |
| Korlis | Oneshade: are you on that machine right now? | 03:54 |
| pitput | I have ubuntu installed on a partition. Can I somehow "expand" to use the free space I have on my harddrive now since I deleted the windows partition? | 03:54 |
| Oneshade | its sitting next to me | 03:54 |
| Oneshade | its not this computer that im on irc with, no | 03:55 |
| Korlis | Oneshade: ok, cuz it sounds like it's not connecting to the internet | 03:55 |
| Schmitty | mow, this isn't what I was looking for. This is antivirus for windows running on linux | 03:55 |
| IdleOne | !gparted > pitput | 03:55 |
| ubottu | pitput, please see my private message | 03:55 |
| Schmitty | I need antivirus running on linux for windows | 03:55 |
| Korlis | Oneshade: are you using wireless or wired | 03:55 |
| zebastian | ok shane2peru tell me exactly what i have to do nwo | 03:55 |
| Korlis | Schmitty: look up avast | 03:56 |
| jmarsden | Schmitty: clamav ? | 03:56 |
| bastid_raZor | pitput: follow the liveCD option of what ubottu said. | 03:56 |
| MrSchmo | hey guys im trying to install firefox and i get "bash" /usr/bin/firefox" error. i tried uninstalling and install but i get the same thing | 03:56 |
| Schmitty | you guysare sure you understand me | 03:56 |
| zebastian | shane2peru i downloaded the driver to desktop sand have the terminal open | 03:56 |
| Oneshade | Korlis: wired. I just set this machine up with a fresh install yesterday, so nothing is really configured except the couple programs i installed and the static ip | 03:56 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ok, we are going to open up a terminal | 03:56 |
| zebastian | done | 03:56 |
| MrSchmo | hey guys im trying to install firefox and i get "bash" /usr/bin/firefox: No such file directory" error. i tried uninstalling and install but i get the same thing | 03:56 |
| Korlis | Oneshade: are you planning on using it as a server? | 03:56 |
| pitput | bastid_raZor, that seems very dangerous to do | 03:56 |
| juanpablo | hola | 03:56 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ok, we need to type this: sudo chmod +x ati(tab) | 03:56 |
| mow | Schmitty > if it's windows, can't you just use a windows antivirus? | 03:56 |
| juanpablo | alguien me puede ayudar ? | 03:57 |
| Oneshade | Korlis: yeah I was hoping to. | 03:57 |
| pitput | bastid_raZor, I just somehow want to "expand" the free space for my ubuntu | 03:57 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: tab will complete the name of the file | 03:57 |
| jamiejackson | hi, i just ran "sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2" accidentally, instead of specifying /dev/md0 first. how do i recover from this? | 03:57 |
| Schmitty | mow: no. To be truley productive I need to be able to remove a windows drive, throw it on a linux box and scan for virii | 03:57 |
| bastid_raZor | pitput: you will have to have the current partition unmounted in order to resize it. the gparted LiveCD is the best way to accomplish this | 03:57 |
| zebastian | shane2peru do i type "(tab)" or you mean press the tab key as the last part of the staetement? | 03:57 |
| pitput | bastid_raZor, are there any risks of losing my current data? | 03:58 |

| zebastian | shane2peru !!!!!!!!!!!!:( i got the same thign that i got the first time when everything went downhill, ubuntu is running in low graphics mode, your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. you will need to configure these yourself | 04:05 |

| shane2peru | zebastian: how long have you used Linux? | 04:09 |
| * crankharder bangs head on wall | 04:09 | |
| sebsebseb | GlaxoSmithStart: I hope that's only to try Ubuntu, and later on you will do a proper install say when 9.10 comes out, you can ask for help in #vmware people in here useually recommend Virtualbox :) | 04:09 |
| jmarsden | crankharder: Stick it on a USB flash drive instead | 04:10 |
| zebastian | shane2peru your configuration has been restored to default and your old configuration backed up, please restart | 04:10 |
| quartknee | Hey, can you name a few extra repositories that might help me find some key social-networking desktop tools? | 04:10 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: man, that is disappointing | 04:10 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: are you new to Linux? ATI isn't known to be well supported in Linux, and I feel bad for you having this much hassle | 04:11 |
| Amanj | help | 04:11 |
| jmarsden | quartknee: Which "key social-networking desktop tools" do you have in mind? Name them :) | 04:11 |
| jmarsden | !help Amanj | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about help Amanj | 04:11 |
| jmarsden | !help | Amanj | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Amanj: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:11 |
| shane2peru | !ask | Amanj | 04:11 |
| zebastian | shane2peru, what do i do now? i mean, it looks like it did originally | 04:11 |
| kd8JHC | !ask | Amanj | 04:11 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: you mean after the fresh install? | 04:11 |
| zebastian | shane2peru i am not really new to linux but i didn't start putting my head into it till this year | 04:11 |
| zebastian | shane2peru yes, it looks like regular clean install confic | 04:12 |
| Amanj | me probelm Not Found | 04:12 |

| zebastian | shane2peru you think we got the right driver file= | 04:12 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: don't install the proprietary drivers again. :) | 04:12 |
| zebastian | how do you mean? | 04:12 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: yep, I'm sure of that, if you gave me the right graphics card info | 04:12 |
| zebastian | like dont do again | 04:12 |
| zebastian | what we justt did | 04:13 |
| Oneshade | can anyone help me on a ubuntu server edition (already installed, and with a LAMP already on it) get it to connect to the internet? whenever I try to use the ping command on any outside adress it wont work. Im new to linux, and this is a fresh install so barely anything has been changed (except it has a static ip set up) | 04:13 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: right, it didn't work, perhaps hold out till a new version is released? | 04:13 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: how new is the laptop? | 04:13 |
| dead1ock | why will gedit make a <filename>~ file after I edit files? | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | Oneshade: new to Linux and already using the server edition hmm | 04:13 |
| jmarsden | Oneshade: Ask in #ubuntu-server , it is quieter in there :) | 04:13 |
| zebastian | shane2peru i bought about a month ago now | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | Oneshade: What kind of server are you doing? | 04:13 |
| kd8JHC | Oneshade: why are you running a server | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | Oneshade: you can run server stuff in the desktop install which may be easier for you, but if your doing a proper commercial server, sure the server edition | 04:14 |
| veasmkii | deadlock, that should just be the temp file it creates | 04:14 |
| Pici | dead1ock: Because the default behavior is to save backup copies, check Edit>Preferences, Editor Tab, Filesaving to change that | 04:14 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: when I first bought my laptop, networking didn't work, sound didn't work, and ati graphics were a mess, intrepid was out, jaunty soon came out and things got better | 04:14 |
| quartknee | jmarsden well, these aren't social networking per se, but ComicStrip rss reader, rssowl, python-twitter are all things I've been looking at. | 04:14 |
| zebastian | shane2peru wait a sec | 04:15 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: I would have to say, you are going to have to either A. try a different distro, or B. Live with it the way it is and wait for Koala to be released | 04:15 |
| dead1ock | Pici: Thanks, it was being a hassle with git | 04:15 |
| zebastian | shane2peru what about hardy? | 04:15 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: you can continue searching for answers, but it is going to be tough | 04:15 |
| Pici | dead1ock: In bzr, you can have .bzrignore file, which will ignore certain filename patterns from being versioned, git might have something similar. | 04:15 |
| jmarsden | quartknee: python-twitter seems to be in the Jaunty repositories... sudo apt-get install pythin-twitter | 04:15 |
| zebastian | shane2peru hold on a moment ok | 04:16 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: I think it would be a waste of your time to try Hardy honestly, but if you have no other options and have the time, give it a try | 04:16 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ok | 04:16 |
| DigitalKiwi | what is zebastians problem? | 04:16 |
| jmarsden | Oneshade: Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces (which you edited to set the static IP) please? | 04:16 |
| Amanj | shane2peru, probelm the phpmyadmin no found why? http://paste.org/pastebin/view/10449 | 04:17 |
| Pici | jmarsden: It sounds like his default route is misconfigured to me. | 04:17 |
| harisund | The Firefox I am running on my Windows box is 3.5.<something> but the Firefox on my Ubuntu box is 3.0.<something>. Is this deliberate? | 04:17 |
| jmarsden | Pici: Quite possibly, yes. | 04:17 |
| zebastian | shane2peru what is the command to check which card i have | 04:17 |
| zebastian | lspci something? | 04:17 |
| RedSocrates | harisund, yes. Firefox 3.5 doesn't ship with Jaunty; you'll have to install it yourself. | 04:17 |
| jmarsden | zebastian: lspci | grep -i vga | 04:17 |
| leaf-sheep | harisund: firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 are a separate packages. | 04:17 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: right lspci | grep ati | 04:17 |
| Pici | harisund: FF3.5 wasn't out when Jaunty was released. | 04:17 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: oh, use jmarsden it will probably work better | 04:18 |
| DigitalKiwi | lspci | grep VGA is more generic | 04:18 |
| quartknee | jmarsden: Thank you! Do you suggest any other repositories worth picking up? I'd like to explore a little beyond the default ubuntu stuff. | 04:18 |
| harisund | RedSocrates, leaf-sheep, Pici ah ok .. is there any "official Ubuntu" way of install this Firefox that wouldn't void my warranty? ;-) | 04:18 |
| Pici | !ff35 | harisund | 04:18 |
| ubottu | harisund: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 04:18 |
| zebastian | shane2peru i got 01:05.9 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] | 04:19 |
| harisund | Pici, sweet man thanks. I am afraid to do anything with my Ubuntu box, else I go make a post in the forums and everyone yells at me "why do you do it like that, that is not the way things are done with Ubuntu" :) This is better | 04:19 |
| quartknee | Hey all! Do you suggest any other repositories worth picking up? I'd like to explore a little beyond the default ubuntu stuff. | 04:19 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: yep that is what we installed the 3xxx series | 04:19 |
| jmarsden | quartknee: Generally you can look in PPAs for interesting new stuff once you know what you are looking for. Not sure there are any "big" unofficial Ubuntu repos -- just a lot of people doing interesting things in tehir own PPAs on Launchpad. | 04:19 |
| zebastian | shane2peru why not the 3200 hd series? | 04:19 |
| RedSocrates | quartknee, how about medibuntu? Or do you already have that? | 04:20 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: did I overlook it??? | 04:20 |
| jmarsden | Oneshade: Seriously, can you /join #ubuntu-server and I will try to work with you on the server networking issue you are having in that channel ? | 04:20 |
| zebastian | shane2peru give me the link again | 04:21 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: because there is no 3200 series | 04:21 |

| bastid_raZor | zebastian: have you tried the radeon driver? | 04:22 |
| jmarsden | n8tuser: Right, it is just a lot noisier in here :) | 04:22 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: I found it! | 04:22 |
| zebastian | shane2peru which is it? | 04:22 |
| DigitalKiwi | shane2peru: it's under integrated | 04:22 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: you have to click on integrated | 04:22 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: why didn't you point that out before? :) | 04:22 |
| n8tuser | jmarsden-> its okay, people have to share the learnings | 04:23 |
| pedro | necesito que me hayuden a configurar mi servidor ubuntu 9.04 | 04:23 |

| Out_Cold | RabidWeezle, i got an EVDO card to work... | 04:26 |
| Out_Cold | if it's the same type of deal there are plenty tutorials | 04:26 |
| RabidWeezle | Out_Cold, did you have to do the "usb_modeswitch" thing? | 04:26 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: you can delete that other one | 04:26 |
| zebastian | shane2peru please help me try this out | 04:26 |
| zebastian | i did | 04:26 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ok, will do | 04:27 |
| Out_Cold | RabidWeezle, no i don't think so. | 04:27 |
| Out_Cold | which version of ubuntu are you running? | 04:27 |
| === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB | ||
| RabidWeezle | Out_Cold, kubuntu jaunty latest kernel | 04:27 |
| zebastian | i think KDE's female and GNOME is male | 04:27 |
| Out_Cold | i had to use netowrk manager to get it going i think. | 04:28 |
| Out_Cold | i haven't tried with wicd | 04:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | because KDE is subject to being bloated and GNOME only works when it wants to? | 04:28 |
| shane2peru | shane2peru: thinks wicd rules | 04:28 |
| * shane2peru thinks wicd rules | 04:28 | |
| Out_Cold | haha kiwi | 04:28 |
| DigitalKiwi | <3 wicd | 04:28 |
| * zebastian concurs | 04:28 | |
| Out_Cold | i use wicd too.. | 04:29 |
| RabidWeezle | Out_Cold, big problem with this card is it's got a switchable usb storage on to hold the windows drivers XD | 04:29 |
| cjae | Does updatedb work for say a usb hdd? I need to find a specific .pdf | 04:29 |
| Out_Cold | but haven't used it with EVDO | 04:29 |
| kd8JHC | my Verizon evdo card works perfectly in jaunty.. no extra stuff required | 04:29 |
| webbb82 | i need some advise i have karmic installed at the moment but im thinkin about installing jaunty again so i can add kde can i install kde in karmic like in jaunty | 04:29 |
| Out_Cold | RabidWeezle, that doesn't sound like the same as i had. | 04:29 |
| bfox | zebastian: let's hope they don't breed | 04:29 |
| jmarsden | cjae: You can ask updatedb to scan any mounted filesystem. But for a eon time thing, find /media/whatever -name "name-of-file.pdf" may be easier :) | 04:30 |
| Out_Cold | webbb82, it's the same process | 04:30 |

| seidos | !lamp | sebsebseb | 04:31 |
| ubottu | sebsebseb: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 04:31 |
| cjae | jmarsden, so find /media/whatever -name *.pdf will work with a mounted ntfs fs? | 04:31 |
| * seidos will stop abusing ubottu now | 04:32 | |
| jmarsden | cjae: Yes, it doesn't care what type of fs it is searching, basically | 04:32 |
| cjae | jmarsden, ok thanks | 04:32 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: I was processing videos, making videos, and no never did get it right | 04:32 |
| jmarsden | cjae: No problem. Oh, should do -name "*.pdf" -- quote the name if it has any wildcards in it. | 04:32 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: however everything boots up, and I monitored temps, and it ran a looooot cooler with those drivers installed | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | seidos: heh | 04:33 |
| _MrsApple_ | hi, is there a flashplayer that works with ubuntu? im not sure how to update mine or even how to find out where i need to update it. | 04:33 |
| sanchiro | I need help with email.. have a pesky 'relay not permitted' problem.. my exim4 server permits neither the spam to relay through, which is good, nor the email I want to receive, which is BAD.. ideas how to resolve this? | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | _MrsApple_: sudo apt-get intstall flashplugin-installer | 04:33 |
| zebastian | shane2peru did the getting stuck mid movie cease? | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | _MrsApple_: Flash can be a bit bad in Ubuntu, because it's closed source | 04:33 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: you may have helped me with mine too, tomorrow I will install on mine | 04:33 |
| Out_Cold | !flash | _MrsApple_ | 04:33 |
| webbb82 | woulod the jaunty repos work for karmic koala | 04:34 |
| ubottu | _MrsApple_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 04:34 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: I don't watch movies on mine, but I'm sure that would be fixed, it is less processor intensive than processing videos | 04:34 |
| DigitalKiwi | sebsebseb: what is the excuse of gnash and the open ati drivers? | 04:34 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: I watched the temps on mine, and they would start to climb with anything I did | 04:34 |
| DigitalKiwi | they are open but still suck ;P | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | DigitalKiwi: Gnash and ATI drivers aren't related I think | 04:34 |
| jmarsden | sanchiro: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and reconfigure it the way you want | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | DigitalKiwi: hmm | 04:34 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: installing the drivers made it run cooler, I have read reports of movies doing the same thing | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | DigitalKiwi: not all opensource/freesoftware is amazing, because of lack of developers | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | DigitalKiwi: also when it comes to drivers, it's more about lack of manufacture support, when they aren't that good | 04:35 |
| Out_Cold | like with the ATI driver lol | 04:35 |
| Ieatbears | How do I detect drivers with Ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| DigitalKiwi | the 64 bit alpha/flash whatever flash driver has been really good to me, as has been nvidia | 04:35 |
| * Out_Cold uses nvidia and still has issues | 04:35 | |
| sebsebseb | Out_Cold: Nivida's fault, those drivers are closed source | 04:36 |
| Out_Cold | yea | 04:36 |
| zebastian | shane2peru what about changing my graphics card? is that possible? what is a better brand and what are usual prices? also how can i check if that's doable on my laptop? | 04:36 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: yes, but Firefox isn't even 64bit, so there is a breakdown there. | 04:36 |
| _MrsApple_ | sebsebseb, im pretty sure we had it on our comp already.... how do i check the updates on here??? | 04:36 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: I know nothing about that, I assume it is probably integrated, and therefore cannot be changed | 04:36 |
| meua | Hi! my external is correctly labeled "ehd-data" but display in gnome as "150 GB Media" and is mounted on /media/disk (this happened after a resize with gparted). How do i get the system respect label name for mount point and display name ? thx. | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | _MrsApple_: there won't be any updates for Flash, accept maybe a security update, but probably not | 04:37 |
| Out_Cold | _MrsApple_, just reinstall it and it will let you know if it's already installed or in need of updating | 04:37 |
| DigitalKiwi | shane2peru: how do i have firefox without 32 bit lib depends if it's not 64 bit? how come I can compile it? the answer is it is 64 bit ;p | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | _MrsApple_: and then when a proper later Flash version comes out, well that will be in a later Ubuntu | 04:38 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: well, I could be wrong, but I don't think mozilla has released 64bit version | 04:38 |
| joako | When I turn on the computer it logs in automatically but then it asks me for a password to connect to the wifi. How do I connect to wifi w/o password? | 04:38 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: if you have the link to their 64bit firefox, I would love to see it. | 04:38 |
| _MrsApple_ | sebsebseb, and what if my bf (its mainly his comp) decides not to switch to different version of ubuntu? can i delete an existing flash or whatev and just reinstall? | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | _MrsApple_: you can get it from Adobe yeah | 04:40 |
| DigitalKiwi | http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Firefox:Download here it is for windows anyway | 04:40 |
| amites | any ideas why I would be denied permission to cd to a directory owned by a group my account is a member of? | 04:40 |
| _MrsApple_ | thx sebsebseb !!! | 04:40 |
| MrPockets | Anyone use Synergy cross-platform with windows? | 04:40 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ok, my time is running out, you are going to have to open the terminal, type: cd Desktop | 04:40 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: then, type: chmod +x ati(tab) | 04:40 |
| zebastian | shane2peru, yes it's only a few secs remaining | 04:40 |
| zebastian | ok | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | _MrsApple_: and basically any OS should eventuaully be updated, or changed to some other OS that is supported by security updates, because they stop being supported | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | _MrsApple_: no problem | 04:41 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: then type: sudo ./ati(tab) | 04:41 |
| meua | Hi! my external is correctly labeled "ehd-data" but display in gnome as "150 GB Media" and is mounted on /media/disk (this happened after a resize with gparted). How do i get the system respect label name for mount point and display name ? thx. | 04:41 |
| zebastian | shane2peru i got the following output | 04:42 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: right, but I don't think it exists for Linux, you can compile 32bit software on 64bit box without a problem | 04:42 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: wine is the same way, it maybe compiled for 64bit, but it still only processes 32bits at a time | 04:42 |
| zebastian | sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-9.x86,x86_64.run: command not founod | 04:42 |
| zebastian | shane2peru | 04:42 |
| jmarsden | shane2peru: ftp://us.archive.ubuntu.com:/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-3.5/firefox-3.5_3.5.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb is 64bit firefox ... | 04:42 |
| amites | These are the steps I'm taking to add user to group and set directory permissions, any ideas why I would be denied access? http://pastebin.com/m2f2b58bf | 04:43 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: did you run: chmod +x ati(tab) | 04:43 |
| xeer | I have a Novatech NV-902W (Ralink RT2570 chipset) that worked flawlessly out of the box on 9.04. I reverted to 8.10 for gfx drivers and it's not recognized (Though it displays the name when issuing 'lsusb') | 04:43 |
| DigitalKiwi | shane2peru: fedora i know has both 32 bit and 64 bit firefoxes easily available | 04:43 |
| xeer | My question, what could I do to get the drivers from 9.04 (repositories?) to 8.10? | 04:43 |
| zebastian | shane2peru ok doing so now | 04:43 |
| === marty is now known as Guest49018 | ||
| zebastian | shane2peru uncompressing | 04:44 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: ok, you want to select install, and automatic installation | 04:44 |
| jmarsden | amites: Adding a group does not take effect right away. Log out and back in and your user will be in that www-data group. | 04:44 |
| jmarsden | amites: But why are you doing that??? | 04:44 |
| zebastian | shane2peru ok, and after that? | 04:44 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: it should pop up the gui to run through | 04:45 |
| zebastian | shane2peru yes, ok, once it's done downloading, i reboot adn check it out and if it doesnt work, reconfigure to default right? | 04:45 |
| zebastian | otherwise itmeans it worked | 04:45 |
| Guest49018 | Ok, something's wrong with the desktop area. I'm on 8.04; Nautilus seems to be working fine, but I can't select or right-click anything on the desktop. My mouse is otherwise working fine. | 04:45 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: I'm working on 64bit Jaunty and too installed firefox, however it is only 32bit, because 64bit java didn't work with it | 04:46 |
| xeer | Anyone willing to look at my question? | 04:46 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: correct | 04:46 |
| amites | jmarsden: it's a server, thank you | 04:46 |
| zebastian | shane2peru what's cups? | 04:46 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: after googling, I found out there wasn't a 64bit Linux firefox | 04:46 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: cups is what communicates with your printer | 04:46 |
| jmarsden | amites: No problem. | 04:46 |
| coldboot|home | shane2peru: What version of Firefox? I think there are older ones. | 04:47 |
| DigitalKiwi | shane2peru: and after googling i found several instances of 64 bit linux firefox | 04:47 |
| shane2peru | coldboot|home: I had upgraded to the latest at that time, I since went back to what was in the repos | 04:47 |
| shane2peru | coldboot|home: I worked through ubuntuzilla, you can look on the forums, it is documented there | 04:47 |
| coldboot|home | shane2peru: I can't remember, but I do remember having 64-bit versions of Firefox a while ago. It could have been v2 | 04:47 |
| zebastian | shane2peru, have three min? | 04:48 |
| coldboot|home | ah ok | 04:48 |
| Out_Cold | xeer you can add the repositories from intrepid to jaunty but it might break your system | 04:48 |
| shane2peru | DigitalKiwi: you have to separate the name form the actual product, it may say Firefox-3.5-amd64, because it is built to be installed on 64bit box, but doesn't mean it is truely 64bit | 04:49 |
| xeer | Out_Cold: there is no networking; since the wireless is not functional at this point | 04:49 |
| Out_Cold | xeer another option is to build the driver yourself from the device vendors | 04:49 |
| zebastian | shane2peru, it seems to have worked...:O...does it mean now i can get compiz and play movies? | 04:49 |

| DigitalKiwi | from help about | 04:50 |
| zebastian | shane2peru do i delete the file from the desktop now? | 04:50 |
| Guest49018 | If I were to kill the nautilus process that runs by default, what would happen? | 04:50 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: you should be good to go! | 04:50 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: you can keep it or delete it, you may need it in the case of an update | 04:50 |
| xeer | Out_Cold: yes that I what I am trying to do now but If I update the linux kernel wont I have to recompile each time? | 04:50 |
| Out_Cold | xeer, that also happens with wifi cards. i usually plug in with a wire, update, then disconnect and go wireless | 04:50 |
| shane2peru | bye all | 04:50 |
| zebastian | shane2peru I would like to thank you and all of the people involved in the channel | 04:51 |
| zebastian | for your great help, you have been all very kind | 04:51 |
| xeer | Out_Cold: not all of us have the luxury of wired + wireless connections. | 04:51 |
| shane2peru | zebastian: glad to be of help | 04:51 |
| Out_Cold | not too sure | 04:51 |
| zebastian | this includes but is not limited to sebsebseb bro seidos | 04:51 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip | 04:51 |
| zebastian | DigitalDarkness | 04:51 |
| Out_Cold | agreed.. but it's a quick fix | 04:51 |
| zebastian | thank you so much guys | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | zebastian: no problem and good luck with ATI and that :) | 04:51 |

| binskipy2u | hey guys, kinda simple question.. I'm using ubuntu 9.04 64bit.. does that mean everything in repos is 64bit? | 04:53 |
| binskipy2u | specially desktop enviornments.... i was thinking of checking out lxde | 04:53 |
| quartknee | I added medibuntu as a repository but I can't seem to access it with Synaptic Package manager to browse it. Is it listed under something other than medibuntu? | 04:53 |
| binskipy2u | as a fast desktop | 04:53 |
| xeer | Question, If I put 9.04 on a usb stick could I pull the built-in drivers onto my 8.10 system? | 04:54 |
| jmarsden | quartknee: medibuntu is the repository, the collection of packages. What package do you want to install from it? | 04:56 |
| thiebaude | !medibuntu | 04:57 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 04:57 |
| zebaztian | sebsebseb, how can i look at the log of the conversation I just had with shane2peru | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | zebaztian: your IRC client probably has a log, but also | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | !log | 04:59 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 04:59 |
| xim_ | for some reason evolution wont let me resize the side panel and its shrunk to where all the names of my folders just say ... do i need to reinstall evolution? | 05:00 |
| jmarsden | zebaztian: You can also find the log files under ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs/ if you enabled logging in xchat | 05:00 |
| zebaztian | jmarsden, I just enabled it | 05:01 |
| OzFalcon | anyone know of a flowchart program that can export to-->from data? | 05:01 |
| jmarsden | zebaztian: OK, well next time you will know where to find the logs, at least :) | 05:01 |

| mans28far | help : FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. | 05:02 |
| harisund | How do I figure out what event is generated when I press a key, so it can be modified using xmodmap or whatever? (I haev a hardware button on my tablet) | 05:03 |
| DigitalKiwi | gah Shane2peru left | 05:04 |
| DigitalKiwi | or is he shane2 | 05:04 |
| mu3en | harisund use xev from a terminal | 05:04 |
| DigitalKiwi | oh that's not actualy a nick just spell checking >.> | 05:04 |
| harisund | mu3en, xev .. that's what I was looking for. sweet man thanks | 05:04 |
| jmarsden | OzFalcon: I'm not quite sure what you mean, but try xfig and see if it does what you want | 05:04 |
| heftig | DigitalKiwi: he left 13 minutes ago | 05:05 |
| DigitalKiwi | hehe | 05:05 |
| harisund | ok I just did apt-get install gnome-randr-applet .. how do I make it show up as an applet? | 05:05 |
| OzFalcon | jmarsden, I just want to have the link data from the flow chart in a text format (ie node 1 ---> node2) etc. | 05:05 |
| OzFalcon | jmarsden, I'll check xifg. | 05:05 |
| jmarsden | OzFalcon: No, xfig is mroe of a drawing program that can export to a wide variety of formats... probably not what you are looking for. | 05:06 |
| OzFalcon | jmarsden, no. If I want to build a car port mabie ;-) | 05:06 |
| OzFalcon | jmarsden, I'm not sure what to call that format. So It's making it hard to find a prg | 05:07 |
| OzFalcon | jmarsden, Hmmm. Looking under "node listing" | 05:08 |
| DigitalKiwi | maybe dia? | 05:08 |
| DigitalKiwi | i don't know what you want exactly either :/ | 05:08 |

| ubottu | garv: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:09 |
| OzFalcon | ok. I have a flowchart. But I want to export all the nodes So I can impliment the chart within a program. I just need to be able to export which nodes connect to which. | 05:10 |
| OzFalcon | looking at DIA | 05:10 |
| mans28far | ubuntu 8.1 broadcom 4328 wireless. can not modprobe ndiswrapper to get wireless up and running | 05:10 |
| xeer | How do I get build-essential for 8.10 when it doesn't have networking capabilities? | 05:11 |
| OzFalcon | manous, Sure there ain't drivers from 4328. Sure you should be using ndiswrapper? | 05:11 |
| xeer | I dont see any download available... | 05:11 |
| garv | Just installed ubuntu latest release, cannot connect to the interwebs. OS sees both of my network cards. | 05:11 |
| OzFalcon | manous, Sure there ain't drivers for 4328. Sure you should be using ndiswrapper? | 05:11 |
| xeer | Seems ubuntu "assumes" everyone has networking that wants to compile | 05:12 |
| mans28far | i'm sure. 4328 was not listed | 05:12 |
| OzFalcon | garv, PC on internal net? | 05:12 |
| OzFalcon | mans28far, moment | 05:12 |
| garv | both are onboard cards | 05:12 |
| harisund | xeer, not really. ubuntu just assumes most users won't need to compile anything to get a functional system, and that if someone wants a compiler, they will be able to figure out how to get it:) | 05:12 |
| mu3en | xeer, assuming you have some kind of internet somewhere, you can download and install the .debs manually from a usb? | 05:13 |
| manous | wow,what does it mean? | 05:13 |
| OzFalcon | mans28far, Have you tried the broadcom sta drivers (Just for a shot in the dark)? | 05:14 |
| OzFalcon | mans28far, I know it's not listed but..... | 05:15 |
| garv | its like the router isnt giving either of the cards IP addresses | 05:15 |
| OzFalcon | garv, Have you tried manualy setting ip? | 05:15 |
| mans28far | i'll give a try | 05:15 |
| OzFalcon | garv, what does ifconfig say? | 05:15 |
| [R] | my cd tray automatically retracts itself and i've read that it should have been fixed in 8.10, but i'm using 9.04... and no matter what i do i can't get it to work... any suggestions? | 05:15 |
| garv | <--super linux noob please give me a heads up on how to run ifconfig | 05:15 |
| lstarnes | garv: type it into a terminal | 05:16 |
| OzFalcon | garv, open a terminal | 05:16 |
| OzFalcon | garv, it should list eth0 and eth1 | 05:16 |
| garv | yes it does | 05:16 |
| OzFalcon | garv, and lo | 05:16 |
| garv | yeah see all of that | 05:17 |
| OzFalcon | garv, and it says inet addr:???????????? | 05:17 |
| cainram | Hello, all | 05:17 |
| garv | only relative thing i see to that, is inet6 addr: | 05:18 |
| jmarsden | !welcome cainram | 05:18 |

| cainram | thanks, j | 05:18 |
| garv | i tried to manually set it, but it wouldnt let me "apply" the settings and I couldnt figure out what i was doing wrong | 05:19 |
| OzFalcon | garv, you are seeing the ip6 address | 05:19 |
| jmarsden | garv: Can you use pastebin to show us all what you are seeing? :) | 05:19 |
| OzFalcon | garv, moment...... | 05:19 |

| garv | sec I'm on my mac let me copy txt to a flash drive | 05:20 |
| garv | this is a FRESH install | 05:20 |
| garv | is there any sort of setup im not doing | 05:20 |
| garv | drivers maybe? | 05:20 |
| Mushrooms | Howdy all, I just recently bought a wireless network card, i already checked the compatibility with ubuntu already.. just wondering what i should do about various drivers / procedure to install hardware? | 05:20 |
| cainram | I mounted an ISO as a volume and all was well until I rebooted. Now I've got this thing on my desktop (not an actual file in my home/desktop) that says XYZ.volume. I can't get rid of it. | 05:20 |
| OzFalcon | garv, no. are both nics on the mobo | 05:20 |
| cainram | XYZ.iso.volume, sorry | 05:21 |
| [R] | Mushrooms: if it works then you dont need to do anything | 05:21 |
| garv | just wondering because my raid volume isnt showing up either | 05:21 |
| xeer | Is it possible to get intrepid 8.10 to read ext4? | 05:21 |
| OzFalcon | garv, one thing at a time | 05:21 |
| cainram | Running a current 9.04 install | 05:21 |
| Mushrooms | [R] : yeah well it has got like installation instructions that came with the box... but that's for windows, not linux.. and it does say in big red letters "STOP" run the installation cd first before connecting this device | 05:21 |
| Mushrooms | soo, this is why i came here looking for a second opinion | 05:22 |
| DasEi | cainram: did you try to remove the mountpoint of the farmer iso-file ? | 05:22 |
| cainram | no, I'm not sure what you mean... | 05:22 |
| kd8JHC | xeer: yes | 05:22 |
| OzFalcon | garv, Load system/admin/network tools. | 05:22 |
| kd8JHC | xeer: http://www.tuxmind.org/2009/01/06/ext4-su-ubuntu-810/ | 05:22 |
| kd8JHC | whoops, sorry that's not in english | 05:23 |
| garv | loaded | 05:23 |
| xeer | kd8JHC: hrm | 05:23 |
| DasEi | cainram: you said you mounted an iso; every fs is mounted to a directory... | 05:23 |
| OzFalcon | does it list ipv4 on the local (loopback) | 05:23 |
| garv | yes it does | 05:24 |
| garv | 127.0.0.01 as the ip | 05:24 |
| OzFalcon | garv, ok. | 05:24 |
| OzFalcon | garv, pull the list down. do you have eth0 and eth1 | 05:24 |
| cainram | DasEi: i'm not seeing anything in /mnt or /media related to my problem, is this what you mean? | 05:24 |
| garv | yes | 05:25 |
| kd8JHC | xeer: if you have kernel 2.6.28 it should work in 8.10 | 05:25 |
| garv | do you still want me to paste the ifconfig results in? | 05:25 |
| Mushrooms | sooo.. umm any comments on my problem? | 05:25 |
| OzFalcon | garv not yet | 05:25 |
| xeer | kd8JHC: 8.10 ships with 2.6.27 | 05:25 |
| jMyles | [R]: Your last message read like a slogan. ;-) | 05:25 |
| [R] | Mushrooms: thats for windows | 05:26 |
| [R] | Mushrooms: if it works in ubuntu... then you dont need to do anythign | 05:26 |
| kd8JHC | xeer: dk what to tell you then | 05:26 |
| cainram | How does Gnome Keep track of my pseudo-desktop stuff? is it a text or config file somewhere that I could manually edit? | 05:26 |
| OzFalcon | garv, go to a terminal | 05:26 |
| Mushrooms | [R]: alright imma give it a shot | 05:26 |
| [R] | cainram: psuedo-desktop? | 05:26 |
| DasEi | cainram: if you right-click the symbol on you disk > properties > volume , something given there ? | 05:26 |
| garv | okay | 05:26 |
| cainram | You know, like mounted volumes and launchers... | 05:26 |
| cainram | Hmm, one second | 05:26 |
| [R] | cainram: hal knows what is mounted | 05:26 |
| cainram | Hal? | 05:27 |
| cainram | I feel like more of a noob every day... | 05:27 |
| OzFalcon | garv, type: cat /etc/network/interfaces | 05:27 |
| cainram | location is listed as "x-nautilus-desktop:///" | 05:28 |
| cainram | It isn't acting like a mounted volume | 05:28 |
| garv | all in one line just like that? | 05:28 |
| lstarnes | garv: yes | 05:28 |
| OzFalcon | tep | 05:28 |
| legend2440 | cainram: in terminal type mount is there an entry like /dev/loop0 on then some path? | 05:28 |
| cainram | one sec | 05:28 |
| garv | says no such file or directory | 05:29 |
| DasEi | cainram: simply drag icon into trash ? | 05:29 |
| OzFalcon | garv, make sure no typos | 05:29 |
| OzFalcon | garv, Sure it's not there? | 05:30 |
| garv | sorry didnt see the space. auto lo... iface lo inet loopback | 05:30 |
| garv | was what i go | 05:30 |
| garv | got* | 05:30 |
| OzFalcon | garv, good. | 05:30 |
| cainram | dasei: Not working, but I'm a firm believer that the obvious is often overlooked. I've tried deleting it in all of the usual ways. Sometimes I get errors, sometimes nothing but the icon persists. | 05:30 |
| froduntu | howdie chanel | 05:30 |
| OzFalcon | garv, and entries for eth0 or eth1? | 05:30 |
| zebaztian | i'm having trouble with the desktop computer, i am trying to paste some files in etc udev rules.d i tried chmod 777 /etc/udev/rules.d and yet when i try to paste the files it tells me permission is denied | 05:31 |
| garv | no all i got was what i typed | 05:31 |
| OzFalcon | garv, ok | 05:31 |
| OzFalcon | garv, Thinking........................ | 05:31 |
| cainram | dasei: the error I get on Delete is "The specified location is not supported" | 05:31 |
| mans28far | OZfal | 05:31 |
| mans28far | got it | 05:31 |
| mans28far | thanks | 05:31 |
| OzFalcon | mans28far, working or just got/compiled it? | 05:32 |
| mans28far | working | 05:32 |
| OzFalcon | mans28far, with STA? | 05:32 |
| mans28far | yup | 05:32 |
| OzFalcon | mans28far, Cool. | 05:32 |
| cainram | Ok, I'm going to reboot because my whole nautilus situation is misbehaving... Thanks for the help :) I'll try back later | 05:33 |
| OzFalcon | garv, Gawd. What happens when you type: sudo ifup eth0 | 05:33 |
| kraut | moin | 05:34 |
| garv | ignoring unknown interface | 05:34 |
| OzFalcon | garv, ok. backtrack. when you type ifconfig | 05:35 |
| harisund | ok guys here's what I want to do. When I keep pressing the enter key I want a program to run. | 05:35 |
| harisund | anyway I can do it? | 05:35 |
| OzFalcon | garv, The device associated to ip6 was what? | 05:35 |
| OzFalcon | garv, did you say both nics were ONBOARD? | 05:36 |
| garv | sorry, i was trying to enter it manually when i typed that last command | 05:36 |
| garv | i switched it back to auto | 05:36 |
| froduntu | does anybody know a chanel about finding other chanels? | 05:36 |
| garv | and got ifup: interface eth0 already configured | 05:36 |
| garv | yes both nic's are onboard | 05:36 |
| froduntu | like a chanel directory chanel? | 05:36 |
| froduntu | sorry for posting my question here | 05:37 |
| harisund | Anybody? Any suggestions? I want to execute a program when I keep the "Enter" key pressed for more than 10 seconds | 05:37 |
| OzFalcon | garv. ok. So nics are seen. ip4 is available. But not being assign to nics...... | 05:37 |
| garv | correct | 05:37 |
| OzFalcon | Gawd | 05:37 |

| garv | eth0 was the one that had inet6 listed | 05:38 |
| ice_cream | hi, i'm trying to use xmacro with ubuntu 9.04 but apparently i cant? | 05:38 |
| garv | eth1 did not | 05:38 |
| lstarnes | froduntu: there is also http://searchirc.com and http://irc.netsplit.de for online listings | 05:38 |
| ice_cream | "xmacro is broken with ubuntu 9.04, so if your running ubuntu 9.04 dont bother trying this, the how-to is good, but the esc key (or whatever key you assign) wont work, this is a known bug" | 05:38 |
| garv | eth0 is where its plugged in atm | 05:38 |
| ice_cream | would someone like to reply to this =D | 05:38 |
| froduntu | thanks | 05:38 |
| OzFalcon | garv, eth1 didn't have ip4 with it did it?? | 05:39 |
| garv | no | 05:39 |
| garv | it has neither listed | 05:39 |
| OzFalcon | garv, ok. ifdown eth0 | 05:39 |
| OzFalcon | garv, sudo ifdown eth0 | 05:39 |
| cainram | I'm back | 05:40 |
| garv | okay | 05:40 |
| cainram | the problem persists... | 05:40 |
| ice_cream | and will xmacro still have issues in 9.10 alpha..? | 05:40 |
| legend2440 | cainram: in terminal type mount is there an entry like /dev/loop0 on then some path? | 05:40 |
| ice_cream | i'm willing to try out an alpha os if that will solve it | 05:41 |
| cainram | I've tried that and don't see anything standing out... | 05:41 |
| cainram | can I paste that output here or is that rude? | 05:41 |

| garv | says interface eth0 not configured | 05:41 |
| OzFalcon | garv, my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this. http://nopaste.com/p/azSyhc3ZC | 05:42 |
| OzFalcon | garv, type: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 05:42 |
| garv | mine has line 1,2 thats it | 05:42 |
| OzFalcon | garv, and make some eth0 entries like mine. | 05:42 |
| cainram | http://paste.ubuntu.com/271334/ | 05:43 |
| OzFalcon | garv, once these are in your interfaces files, type: sudo ifup eth0 | 05:43 |
| garv | okay i have the changes typed out | 05:44 |
| garv | is there anysort of save command i need to type | 05:44 |
| OzFalcon | garv,save the file (cntrl-o) | 05:44 |
| zebaztian | what was the command to open up sources list? gksudo gedit /etc/sources.list ? | 05:45 |
| w0jrl | hello all | 05:45 |
| lstarnes | zebaztian: /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:45 |
| harisund | Is there a command-line only interface to networkmanager? | 05:45 |
| legend2440 | cainram: its not there. i would try remounting the iso with the same command you used the first time and then unmount it properly | 05:45 |
| DigitalKiwi | harisund: use wicd | 05:46 |
| harisund | DigitalKiwi, will check it out thanks :) | 05:46 |
| DigitalKiwi | which not only is better but has an ncurses interface, i don't think networkmanager does | 05:46 |
| harisund | DigitalKiwi, Just what i would need then | 05:46 |
| DigitalKiwi | <3 wicd | 05:47 |
| cainram | I tried that earlier... The craziest thing happens. As soon as I open the .iso with Archive Mounter all of my desktop Icons disappear and my cube deformation stops working. | 05:47 |
| garv | its doing a dhcpdiscover | 05:47 |
| garv | running lines of that right now | 05:48 |
| Reactor | How to deinstall packages via console? | 05:48 |
| OzFalcon | garv, type: ifconfig again to see if you have an ip4 address. | 05:48 |
| lstarnes | Reactor: sudo aptitude remove packagename | 05:48 |
| eboyjr | Reactor: sudo apt-get remove --purge package_name | 05:48 |
| Reactor | thx] | 05:48 |
| DigitalKiwi | which is better? | 05:49 |
| eboyjr | Reactor: I put the --purge there so that configuration files would be deleted as well if you are not going to be reinstalling it later and want the same configuration. | 05:49 |
| Reactor | ok thx ;) | 05:49 |
| cainram | I'm going to logout and back in... | 05:49 |
| garv | no but there's an extra eth0 line now | 05:49 |
| xeer | http://packages.ubunut.com/intrepid/dpkg-dev | 05:49 |
| xeer | notice the domain name?? IS THIS A SECURITY FLAW?? | 05:49 |
| garv | let me recheck what i typed while doing the nano cmd | 05:49 |
| Heimark | I don't know if it was updates or installing Sun Java, but now I get crackling noise through my speakers and headset. Anyone have any suggestions? | 05:50 |
| xeer | shouldn't packages come from ubuntu.com and not "ubunut"? | 05:50 |
| garv | the lines i added | 05:50 |
| Mushrooms | i plugged my wireless card in... and then booted ubuntu.. I don't think that it is working | 05:50 |
| w0jrl | Does anyone know how to unmount a network directory in ubuntu netbook remix? When I was running ubuntu desktop, i was able to just right click the icon and pick unmount volume | 05:50 |
| garv | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 05:50 |
| lstarnes | xeer: it may be an official mirror | 05:50 |
| garv | then i gave it an ip and netmask | 05:50 |
| garv | and added auto eth0 | 05:50 |
| garv | at the end | 05:50 |
| OzFalcon | garv, it should ignore the address (because it's getting via dhcp) | 05:51 |
| garv | should i delete the address and netmask lines? | 05:51 |
| Mushrooms | anyone available to give me some advice on my wireless network card? | 05:51 |
| OzFalcon | garv, no don't worry about them | 05:51 |
| cainram | i'm back | 05:51 |
| DigitalKiwi | Mushrooms: get intel | 05:51 |
| evon | is there a program that will allow me to graphically monitor my local area network? I just want to be able to see who is connected to my network | 05:51 |
| maco | xeer: if you do a "whois ubunut.com" you'll see that ubunut.com IS actually owned by Canonical, the same company that backs Ubuntu | 05:51 |
| maco | xeer: i'd guess they bought it to protect people who make typos | 05:52 |
| k1en | hi, guys, in 'ifconfig', what is "Bcast", is that like the default gateway in windows? | 05:52 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: sorry? I don't understand what you mean | 05:52 |
| cainram | Again, when i try to check the properties of this icon I get the location as 'x-nautilus-desktop:///" | 05:52 |
| lstarnes | xeer: ubunut.com appears to point to ubuntu.com | 05:52 |
| cainram | what does this mean? | 05:52 |
| lstarnes | k1en: it's the LAN broadcast address | 05:52 |
| OzFalcon | garv, was ip4 listed in any ethX when you ran ifconfig again? | 05:52 |
| DigitalKiwi | intel network cards are very well supported | 05:52 |
| lstarnes | cainram: likely the desktop provided by nautilus | 05:52 |
| garv | yes | 05:53 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: *sigh* i only wish someone told me that the otherday when i was asking which one i should buy | 05:53 |
| garv | in the new eth0 lines | 05:53 |
| k1en | lstarnes, erm, is that the same as gateway? how do i find the gateway? | 05:53 |
| cainram | is this accessible like a mount point, or a file or what? | 05:53 |
| legend2440 | cainram: open terminal and type cd Desktop then type ls -al is the icon listed? | 05:53 |
| garv | but there were 2 entrys for eth0 | 05:53 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: someone re-directed me to a ubuntu page listing some hardware compatibilities | 05:53 |
| garv | one did not look right | 05:53 |
| lstarnes | k1en: no, it's different | 05:53 |
| OzFalcon | garv, can you ping that ip from the box your typing from ? | 05:53 |
| lstarnes | k1en: it is used for sending packets to every local host | 05:53 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: then i cross check the one with good support | 05:53 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: plug it in.. now don't know what to do with it | 05:53 |
| lstarnes | k1en: the gateway transmits packets to the outside network | 05:53 |
| DigitalKiwi | Mushrooms: well as long as you don't have broadcom you're probably set too | 05:53 |
| Mushrooms | i got a netgear | 05:54 |
| cainram | no. | 05:54 |
| k1en | lstarnes, i see, thanks, so how do i find out the gateway address? | 05:54 |
| lstarnes | k1en: the broadcast usually ends in .255. gateways often have .1, but it can be anything from 1 to 254 | 05:54 |
| garv | no i cant | 05:54 |
| legend2440 | cainram: can you see it on the Desktop? | 05:54 |
| garv | its a 169 ip | 05:54 |
| lstarnes | k1en: you will usually need to know it already or guess it | 05:54 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: Netgear WG311 Wireless PCI Card 802.11G (54Mbps) | 05:54 |
| garv | do i need to ifdown before i edit that config? | 05:55 |
| OzFalcon | garv, can that machine ping anything outbound? | 05:55 |
| OzFalcon | garv (google etc) | 05:55 |
| cainram | Yeah, that's the problem, I want to get it OFF of the desktop | 05:55 |
| cainram | I can't find it anywhere else though... | 05:55 |
| w0jrl | how do I unmount a network directory in ubuntu netbook remix? If someone tryed to answer me befor, i missed it | 05:55 |
| garv | no | 05:55 |
| Tanathos | Hola | 05:56 |
| garv | do i need to ifdown before i edit that config? | 05:56 |
| evon | is there a program that will allow me to graphically monitor my local area network? I just want to be able to see who is connected to my network... | 05:56 |
| lstarnes | garv: I don't think so | 05:56 |
| DigitalKiwi | Mushrooms: well if you have the proper drivers then you should be able to connect via it with a network manager (wicd is a good option) if you don't you will have to find out which ones you need and install them | 05:56 |
| Tanathos | alguien en español | 05:56 |
| OzFalcon | garv, no. but you need to down then up again to make the iface reset | 05:56 |

| k1en | lstarnes, the reason i'm asking is that i have 2 machines, in one of them the gateway changed suddenly to 0.0.0.0. in the other machine for some reason i cannot see anything in "network connection" (althpough i am connected to the internet) | 05:57 |
| k1en | so i want to check | 05:57 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: how do i check if i got the drivers? and that computer can not go on the internet at the moment.. any chance i can get it installed without a internet connection (via cd) | 05:57 |
| maco | Tanathos: a, lo siento | 05:57 |
| Tanathos | Por q??? | 05:57 |
| harisund | When I minimize a window, why do I see a bunch of black rectangles? (some kind of animation) How do I turn that off? | 05:58 |
| lstarnes | k1en: what machine are you using as the gateway? | 05:58 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: i don't think it can connect at all, when i click on network manager it doesn't show a wireless connection | 05:58 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: only wired | 05:58 |
| maco | Tanathos: lstarnes y yo dice !es. solo lstarnes necesita. | 05:58 |
| maco | Tanathos: uhh...yo no hablo mucho español. /join #ubuntu-es para español | 05:58 |
| DigitalKiwi | does it have an ethernet port? | 05:58 |
| * maco gives up | 05:58 | |
| k1en | lstarnes, these two machines are on 2 separtae networks, they are not connected, but both have started to be slugish lately | 05:58 |
| Tanathos | bien | 05:58 |
| k1en | lstarnes, so i figure its the same reason (gateway becoming 0.0.0.0) | 05:59 |
| garv | its like my router isnt seeing this computer | 05:59 |
| DigitalKiwi | if so you can use that to install the drivers (as it sounds like you don't have them) or you could download them on another pc and transfer via usb, the install cd might have them, i dunno | 05:59 |
| garv | im gonna reboot the router... brb | 05:59 |
| OzFalcon | garv, ok lets try manual config. | 06:00 |
| evon | xmnt: thanks but that shows me a whole bunch of other things I don't understatn. I just want to see who is connected to my wireless connection at home. | 06:00 |
| garv | okay.. want me to reboot the router first? | 06:00 |
| OzFalcon | garv, visit here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html | 06:00 |
| lstarnes | k1en: iy may be something else | 06:00 |
| lstarnes | *it | 06:00 |
| lstarnes | k1en: do they use DHCP for configuration? | 06:00 |
| OzFalcon | garv, no. If your mac? is working so should your other boxes. | 06:00 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: is there a way to issue a command to my ubuntu and ask for it to scan for new hardware? | 06:00 |
| garv | i run dd-wrt on my router you think that would make a difference? | 06:00 |
| k1en | lstarnes, yes | 06:01 |
| xmnt | evon, use your wireless router - usually it will be at the address 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.2.1 | 06:01 |
| garv | yeah thats what i figured | 06:01 |
| evon | xmnt: i understand what you mean | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | k1en: then they should find the gateways automatically when they attempt dhcp setup | 06:01 |
| DigitalKiwi | Mushrooms: i don't know | 06:01 |
| harisund | How do I install acrobat reader and corresponding Mozilla plugin? | 06:01 |
| OzFalcon | garv, visit that site and follow the "Configuring Static IP address for your network card" section | 06:02 |
| harisund | I want to see PDFs in my browser. Can I do that in Linux? | 06:02 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: oh lol :( | 06:02 |
| garv | yeah reading it now | 06:02 |
| garv | i dont need to setup dns? | 06:02 |
| DigitalKiwi | Mushrooms: someone else might know...I'm not that familiar with ubuntu or gnome | 06:02 |
| DigitalKiwi | or dpkg for that matter | 06:02 |
| k1en | lstarnes, you know that icon for networking, when i click edit configuration - there is nothing there. what do you call that ? i want to google the problem , but not sure aboput the key words | 06:02 |
| lstarnes | k1en: nm-applet | 06:02 |
| lstarnes | k1en: it's part of NetworkManager | 06:03 |
| k1en | lstarnes, great thanks | 06:03 |
| hanasaki | what is a good program for downlaod and management of podcasts? | 06:03 |
| gOLDfeesh | is there an FTP service that allows you to create accounts that aren't "system accounts?" | 06:03 |
| Mushrooms | DigitalKiwi: lol.. ok | 06:03 |
| lstarnes | k1en: I usually try to avoid using it | 06:03 |
| gOLDfeesh | perhaps accounts stored in a conf file or XML? | 06:03 |
| gOLDfeesh | !ftp | 06:03 |
| ubottu | FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd | 06:03 |
| OzFalcon | garv, no | 06:03 |
| Mushrooms | Can someone please help me with my wireless network card installation i have a Netgear WG311 Wireless PCI Card 802.11G (54Mbps) plugged in | 06:03 |
| hanasaki | Mushrooms: whtas the issue | 06:03 |
| DigitalKiwi | hanasaki: gtkpod i believe can manage them, not sure what to use to download them, never used those | 06:03 |
| hanasaki | DigitalKiwi: what do you download with? | 06:04 |
| DigitalKiwi | maybe amarok | 06:04 |
| Mushrooms | hanasaki: i bought a new Netgear WG311 Wireless PCI Card 802.11G (54Mbps) today, because i dropped by the other day asking for advice on which one to buy | 06:04 |
| DigitalKiwi | i don't download podcasts | 06:04 |
| OzFalcon | garv, You DNS (Domain Name Server) is allocated to your net interface by the DHCP | 06:04 |
| gOLDfeesh | if you're on KDE use amarok if gnome exaile... | 06:04 |
| zebaztian | where can i increase or decrease the size of the icons on the desktop? | 06:04 |
| Mushrooms | hanasaki: i was told that i should check a compatibility with a ubuntu website, and then pick one that works from that list if i wanted it to plug and play | 06:04 |
| k1en | lstarnes, so what do you use ? | 06:04 |
| xmnt | gOLDfeesh, ftp is insecure and not at all a good way of sending or accepting files - sftp or a version control system is what you should be looking at | 06:04 |
| zebaztian | icon size | 06:05 |
| crdlb | hanasaki: gpodder isn't bad | 06:05 |
| lstarnes | k1en: I usually just let dhcp's dhclient handle it | 06:05 |
| OzFalcon | garv, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 06:05 |
| hanasaki | gOLDfeesh: gnome.. thanks | 06:05 |
| OzFalcon | garv, Might be helpful | 06:05 |
| gOLDfeesh | xmnt, well.. I'm just looking for a services to stream movies to my wii really. | 06:05 |
| OzFalcon | gpodder is great | 06:05 |
| gOLDfeesh | garv, try sudo service networking restart | 06:05 |
| Mushrooms | hanasaki: so now i bought it, plugged it in, and... lol it doesn't seem to be registering with my ubuntu... so i dropped by to get some advice | 06:05 |
| gOLDfeesh | or what OzFalcon said | 06:05 |
| garv | just tried it | 06:06 |
| garv | waiting for dhcp discover to end | 06:06 |

| xmnt | gOLDfeesh, vlc has excellent streaming - however I'm not to sure if wii will work w/ that | 06:06 |
| Mushrooms | hanasaki: it said very clearly on the box to put the installation CD in before installing the hardware. but i am guessing that's for windows, not linux | 06:06 |
| gOLDfeesh | xmnt, I was never able to get the streaming to work on VLC | 06:07 |

| hardan | Hello any arbian | 06:09 |
| cainram | so, I've got this Icon on my desktop left over from a previously mounted .ISO and I can't get rid of it. | 06:09 |

| cainram | HELP! | 06:09 |
| cainram | I've even gone into nautilus and found "x-nautilus-desktop:///" but I can't delete it from here either. | 06:10 |
| legend2440 | cainram: is there an x-nautilus-desktop:/// entry in Places? | 06:10 |
| garv | what should i put in for the "network" and "broadcast" items | 06:11 |
| cainram | legend2440: uh, yeah, there is | 06:11 |
| garv | or just leave them blank? | 06:11 |
| cainram | I can't access it, though | 06:11 |
| OzFalcon | garv, hold on | 06:11 |
| cainram | "the specified location is not supported" | 06:11 |
| legend2440 | cainram: oh ok nevermind you just said you cant delete it. | 06:11 |

| wally1337 | hi hi.. just wondering.. I had an Xubuntu system running great with a 14 inch lcd monitor.. I plugged it into a viera tv and no X comes up.. just a black screen after the boot screen | 06:17 |
| wally1337 | have* | 06:17 |
| OzFalcon | garv, just set broadcast to your local net eg. 192.168.255 | 06:17 |
| cainram | so rm x-nautilus-desktop:///filename.iso.volume - that's it? | 06:18 |
| lstarnes | cainram: that won't work | 06:18 |
| lstarnes | cainram: you need an absolute filesystem path, not a url/uri like that | 06:18 |
| OzFalcon | garv, and set networking to your local network. ie 192.168.1.0 | 06:18 |
| OzFalcon | garv, just set broadcast to your local net eg. 192.168.1.255 | 06:18 |
| garv | okay | 06:18 |
| cainram | that's the only place I've been able to find the 'file' | 06:18 |
| OzFalcon | garv, one more thing | 06:19 |
| wally1337 | so is there any way I can set my resolution other than editing my xorg.conf file? | 06:19 |
| OzFalcon | garv, the dns resolve. | 06:19 |
| mattwj2002 | hi guys | 06:19 |
| mattwj2002 | I could use some help | 06:19 |
| OzFalcon | garv, edit /etc/resolve.conf | 06:19 |
| mattwj2002 | I am trying to get my tv tuner working | 06:20 |
| mattwj2002 | it is a wintv-hvr-850 | 06:20 |
| mattwj2002 | hdtv works but not analog | 06:20 |

| Mushrooms | D: hanasaki disappeared >.< | 06:20 |
| mattwj2002 | anyone know where I can get ppa packages for v4l-dvb? | 06:20 |
| garv | man | 06:21 |
| OzFalcon | garv, xx.xx.xx.xx being either your router or your ISP DNS server. | 06:21 |
| cainram | I'm prepared to create another Administrative user, delete my old one and then create another with the old username... that should do it, right? | 06:21 |
| mattwj2002 | !v4l-dvb | 06:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about v4l-dvb | 06:21 |
| lstarnes | cainram: has restarting done anything? | 06:21 |
| cainram | I've restarted several times over the last hour. | 06:21 |
| cainram | I should also mention that trying to remount said ISO goofs up my compiz. | 06:22 |

| shrooms | cainram: so now i plug it in, and boot up ubuntu... and i don't know what to do from here | 06:26 |

| cainram | shrooms: have you ever used ndiswrapper? | 06:27 |
| lstarnes | garv: it depends on what your router is and what your netmask is | 06:27 |
| shrooms | cainram: not yet | 06:27 |
| owner_ | My cups isn't running | 06:28 |
| garv | okay i got it | 06:28 |
| owner_ | and it says it's fully installed | 06:28 |

| lstarnes | owner_: try sudo invoke-rc.d cupsys restart | 06:28 |
| owner_ | ok | 06:28 |
| subodh_ | how do i install a webcam in ubuntu???can anyone point me to a documentation? | 06:28 |
| cainram | I suggest you look into it. If you can find the windows driver for your hardware then you can use it under linux with this utility | 06:28 |
| [R] | subodh_: you just plug it in | 06:29 |
| cainram | it is a little confusing at first but if you stick with it you should have some luck | 06:29 |
| shrooms | cainram: i just did a quick man for it... i can't find it.. | 06:29 |
| owner_ | invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/cupsys not found | 06:29 |
| subodh_ | [R]: what apps lets you view the video?? | 06:29 |
| [R] | subodh_: i've used cheese | 06:29 |
| cainram | shrooms: look in the add/remove programs utility for Ubuntu | 06:29 |
| cainram | it's in the repository | 06:30 |
| lstarnes | owner_: is cupsys installed? | 06:30 |
| owner_ | just installed it | 06:30 |
| xeer | I have gcc 4.3 installed. g++ wont install though complaining about gcc not being installed! | 06:30 |
| owner_ | sudo apt-get install cupsys | 06:30 |
| owner_ | it still spits out the same error | 06:30 |
| subodh_ | [R]: thanks | 06:30 |
| owner_ | invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/cupsys not found. | 06:30 |
| xmnt | owner_, updatedb ... locate cupsys | 06:30 |
| lstarnes | owner_: what about cups? | 06:31 |
| lstarnes | owner_: the initscript may have changed between my version and yours | 06:31 |
| garv | the dns thing doesnt work | 06:31 |

| harisund | Can I view PDfs in my browser? | 06:31 |
| harisund | Acrobat plugin for mozilla available on Ubuntu? | 06:31 |
| shrooms | maybe i should just go back to windows ~.~ | 06:31 |
| OzFalcon | garv, I was just out a sec. broadcast is just your local net work with 255 on the end. | 06:31 |
| owner_ | cups is already the newest version. | 06:31 |
| cainram | shrooms: whats up? | 06:31 |
| xmnt | /etc/init.d/cups | 06:31 |
| shrooms | cainram: the other computer doesn't have an internet connection either.. so.. i am at a loss too i can get it off the repository on this computer, but i don't want to install it here, i want to install it there XD | 06:32 |
| xeer | shrooms: go back to your windows. people that use linux have an understanding of drivers and how hardware to software works. | 06:32 |
| garv | okay i think i seriously messed something up | 06:32 |
| shrooms | xeer: well that's nice, and you're not helping newbies either. no need to put them down for this | 06:33 |
| mattwj2002 | shrooms what are you trying to do? | 06:33 |
| garv | is there anyway to go back to default? | 06:33 |
| garv | or reset this somehow? | 06:33 |
| shrooms | xeer: people come here to get help, not to get dissed by people like you | 06:33 |
| cainram | shrooms: i"m not sure what xeer means but I think he/she's being a little rude... I want to help you work this out, i've been in stickier situations. | 06:33 |

| garv | i did ficonfig | 06:34 |
| OzFalcon | garv, ok where are you at? can you ping that manual ip you set from the mac? | 06:34 |
| aleron6 | with the movie player | 06:34 |

| zebaztian | then when i rebooted kwin crashed and metacity took over and it rendered it impossible to do anything | 06:34 |
| owner_ | I don't know why it's failing to start. | 06:34 |
| OzFalcon | garv, and you CAN ping it? | 06:34 |
| zebaztian | i don't know if i missed something after sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 06:34 |
| owner_ | does anyone know why cups would fail to start? | 06:34 |
| zebaztian | also for some reason i can't enable desktop effects | 06:34 |
| garv | no | 06:35 |
| garv | but | 06:35 |
| garv | i didnt do the dns thing | 06:35 |
| owner_ | I'm using a proxy but would that have to do with localhost:631 ? or my virtual box networking device? | 06:35 |
| cainram | shrooms: so let me get this straight, you can't get a connection on the computer that you are installing the wireless NIC into? | 06:35 |
| garv | where do i start with that | 06:35 |
| albn | I am trying to install components for winetricks, but it says packages do not exist. What am I doing wrong? | 06:35 |
| Tanathos | install compiz from repocitorios | 06:35 |
| mattwj2002 | aleron6 what is the problem with the movie player? | 06:35 |
| albn | or with winetricks rather | 06:35 |
| aleron6 | its muted | 06:35 |
| OzFalcon | garv, you should be able to ping it without the DNS operational. We NEED to be sure ip4 is working 1st | 06:35 |
| owner_ | :( | 06:36 |
| shrooms | cainram: yes that's correct i used to have a phone socket right next to this computer, but it broke, so the router has been moved to the other side of the house, and ethernet cable will not reach | 06:36 |
| owner_ | #Cups | 06:36 |
| OzFalcon | garv, you know how to ping from your mac? | 06:36 |
| xmnt | shrooms, move the computer | 06:36 |
| garv | yes | 06:36 |

| mattwj2002 | hmmm | 06:36 |
| garv | host is down | 06:36 |
| shrooms | xmnt: i was hoping you wouldn't say that | 06:37 |
| Tanathos | zebaztian: install compiz from repocitorios | 06:37 |
| cainram | shrooms: ok, you have two options, hear me out | 06:37 |
| shrooms | cainram: i'm all ears | 06:37 |
| mattwj2002 | aleron have you tried turning up the volume on the program? if that doesn't work have you tried turning up the volume (or unmuting it on the mixer) | 06:37 |
| xmnt | shrooms, i hate doing it too ... i have a computer and the wireless card never works on a fresh install ... it's a pain - but it's the fastest way | 06:37 |
| OzFalcon | garv, ok. are these machines all connected via a common hub? | 06:37 |
| cainram | shrooms: the first is obvious... physically move the computer to a place where you can get a wired connection. | 06:38 |
| garv | they goto a hub, then to a router | 06:38 |
| shrooms | cainram: yep | 06:38 |
| garv | i see a mistake a made | 06:38 |
| garv | give me a min | 06:38 |
| cainram | shrooms: the other involves aptoncd, ever heard of it? | 06:38 |
| shrooms | cainram: getting it off a CD | 06:38 |
| OzFalcon | garv, any errors on the "NETWORK" entry or "ADDRESS" entry may cause that. | 06:38 |
| owner_ | Well I posted in the cups room. Don't know if they will get back to me. | 06:39 |
| garv | whats the difference between the "vi" and "nano" cmd? | 06:39 |
| owner_ | #kubuntu | 06:39 |
| OzFalcon | garv, what does ifconfig on your mac say? ie what is the ip4 address? | 06:40 |
| lstarnes | garv: they're different programs | 06:40 |
| OzFalcon | garv, nano is easier. | 06:40 |
| cainram | shrooms: yeah, install NDISWrapper on another ubuntu computer and then use aptoncd (also in the repository) to backup all of the computer's packages. You then burn a cd and put it in the non-connected computer and use synaptec to intsall ndiswrapper | 06:40 |
| cainram | I've done exactly this procedure for exactly this reason | 06:40 |

| cainram | shrooms, you'll have to use Add/Remove to add the CD as a software source. Once you've done that you can use synaptec to install packages from said cd. Just look in the bottom left corner and click the | 06:44 |
| cainram | "origin" button | 06:44 |
| cainram | the CD will appear there | 06:44 |
| shrooms | mattwj2002: lol i should go get one made yea XD | 06:44 |

When I try to start it I get a exit status 1 fail. | 06:45 |

| mattwj2002 | I have a HP printer those are easy | 06:47 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 06:47 |
| Celroc | zebaztian: Umm.... not sure. I'm not real good with Linux myself, yet.... sorry. Anyone know how to check? | 06:47 |
| owner_ | Mine is an HP Deskjet F4280 All in one | 06:48 |
| nix-idioteque | mattwj2002: the trick is putting them to your lip before you tilt it | 06:48 |
| mattwj2002 | you have hp? | 06:48 |
| mattwj2002 | :D | 06:48 |
| owner_ | the hplip-3.9.8.run package tried to install cups | 06:48 |
| owner_ | and other packages | 06:48 |
| owner_ | I think I made the mistake of running it as root once | 06:48 |
| Celroc | zebaztian: Although, if you didn't install it, you probably don't have it... I don't think it's a default package | 06:48 |
| owner_ | and I'm not sure where it stuck all it's stuff | 06:48 |
| owner_ | it told me running it as root would be a bad idea | 06:48 |
| owner_ | so I didn't | 06:49 |
| mattwj2002 | do you have hp-setup ? | 06:49 |
| owner_ | but I can't help but think it stuck something somewhere as root | 06:49 |
| owner_ | hp-setup? | 06:49 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah | 06:49 |
| owner_ | never heard of it but I'll install it | 06:49 |
| zebaztian | how can i check if i have compiz? | 06:49 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah | 06:49 |
| mattwj2002 | open up a console | 06:49 |
| musicfella | and type in compiz =D | 06:50 |
| legend2440 | owner_: there is no /etc/init.d/cupsys file its /etc/init.d/cups i think did you browse to /etc/init.d to check for the file? | 06:50 |
| mattwj2002 | and see if you have a program called hp-setup | 06:50 |
| owner_ | I ran that tool | 06:51 |
| owner_ | too | 06:51 |
| mattwj2002 | and it didn't work? | 06:51 |
| owner_ | it gave me this: Usage: /etc/init.d/cups {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status} | 06:51 |
| owner_ | So then I typed ./cups restart | 06:51 |
| owner_ | and it went nuts | 06:51 |
| owner_ | so I typed ./cups start | 06:52 |
| cainram | xeer: you still there? | 06:52 |
| mattwj2002 | just for fun | 06:52 |
| owner_ | I got the same error: * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd cupsd: Child exited on signal 15! | 06:52 |
| mattwj2002 | not sure if this will work but it is a guess | 06:52 |
| owner_ | WOW | 06:52 |
| mattwj2002 | try sudo apt-get install cups | 06:52 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 06:52 |
| wally1337 | fuck you cunts are useless | 06:52 |
| owner_ | that's a difrent error. before it was signal 1 | 06:52 |
| === Reactor_ is now known as Reactor | ||
| cainram | wally1337: way to accept the COC... | 06:53 |
| lstarnes | owner_: If I remember correctly, signal 15 is a segmentation fault | 06:53 |
| owner_ | cups is already the newest version. | 06:53 |
| mattwj2002 | hmmm | 06:53 |
| owner_ | as apt quotes it | 06:53 |
| owner_ | :) | 06:53 |
| mattwj2002 | ok | 06:53 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 06:53 |

| mattwj2002 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne | 06:54 |
| ZachK18 | what up | 06:54 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah he is I brought him up | 06:54 |
| mattwj2002 | !beer | 06:54 |
| ubottu | Beer is always appreciated. | 06:54 |
| xmnt | midgets shouldn't drink beer | 06:54 |
| legend2440 | !anything | 06:54 |
| ubottu | So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. | 06:54 |
| Flannel | !offtopic | 06:55 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 06:55 |
| xmnt | Flannel, no-one's asking ?'s ... flooding the channel w/ offtopic is not only annoying it's pointless | 06:55 |
| Ulises | Hi | 06:55 |
| ZachK18 | hi ulises | 06:55 |
| Flannel | xmnt: You're right, which is why people shouldn't be offtopic at all. | 06:55 |
| Ulises | hi ZachK18 | 06:56 |
| owner_ | I'll take a look | 06:56 |
| xmnt | Flannel, that makes no sense at all | 06:56 |
| cainram | so wally just sent me a friendly message letting me know that I'm a faggot jew. That's real nice. At least I got to help one person with their computing problem before I had to log of to avoid being abused. | 06:56 |
| ZachK18 | exactly...if you're not on topic, don't join the channel | 06:56 |
| mattwj2002 | okay sounds good | 06:56 |
| Ulises | I've got a problem with my Ubuntu | 06:56 |
| mattwj2002 | sorry I wish I was more help :) | 06:56 |
| ZachK18 | ok ulises | 06:56 |
| Ulises | It's not working, doesn't start up | 06:56 |
| mattwj2002 | that page at least gives a few ideas | 06:56 |
| Flannel | cainram: #ubuntu-ops is the place you should go in the future if you're having problems with users. | 06:56 |
| Ulises | stops at the banner UBUNTU | 06:56 |
| owner_ | E [14/Sep/2009:22:04:03 -0700] "/etc/cups/ssl/server.crt" is a bad symlink - No such file or directory | 06:57 |
| ZachK18 | hmmm Ulises private chat me | 06:57 |
| mattwj2002 | o.O | 06:57 |
| cainram | flannel: thanks for the advice but I don't have a problem. Wally does. | 06:57 |
| Flannel | cainram: Right, you should let the operators know in that channel, not this channel. | 06:57 |
| lstarnes | owner_: you may need to generate ssl certificates for it | 06:57 |
| cainram | will do | 06:58 |
| cainram | thanks | 06:58 |
| cainram | I'm having problems with an Icon on my gnome desktop that i can't seem to get rid of. | 07:01 |
| cainram | anyone know about x-nautilus-desktop:/// | 07:02 |
| cainram | ? | 07:02 |
| lstarnes | cainram: see if anything appears from ls ~/Desktop | 07:02 |
| Painkilla05 | hi walter | 07:03 |
| cainram | lstarnes: no joy | 07:03 |
| soreau | cainram: What icon? | 07:03 |
| lstarnes | cainram: try ls -lA ~/Desktop | 07:03 |
| shroom | cainram: lol physically moving the computer works | 07:04 |
| verb3k | I have a question: I am on Windows XP and VirtualBox, and I have an ext3 partition. Can I make my ubuntu "guest" see this ext3 partition? thanks in advance | 07:04 |
| Painkilla05 | hi wsmith | 07:04 |
| cainram | i mounted an ISO as a volume. Now i have this icon that is called XYZ.iso.volume | 07:04 |
| cainram | shroom: COOL, much easier! | 07:04 |
| cainram | shroom, sometimes aptoncd is a godsend, sometimes it is a nightmare... Much like Linux! | 07:05 |
| legend2440 | cainram: browse to /home/yourusername/.nautilus/metafiles is there an xml file there called x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml or something similar? if so open it and see if that iso icon is listed in there | 07:05 |
| shroom | cainram: now just gotta get the ndsiwrapper thing, i googled for a solution it directed me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 i guess that's pretty close | 07:05 |
| owner_ | I don't need ssl certificates lstarnes it's just not working. | 07:05 |
| cainram | shroom: don't get lost... | 07:05 |
| lstarnes | owner_: the error message that you posted earlier referrs to a missing ssl cert | 07:06 |
| shroom | cainram: lol i agree, when you get it working, it's a super well oiled machine | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | owner_: you may be able to configure cups to not use ssl | 07:06 |
| cainram | shroom: all you need is NDISwrapper and the windows device driver... | 07:06 |
| Ulises1 | Hi | 07:06 |
| cainram | check the ndiswrapper documentation for details | 07:06 |

| Ulises1 | HJi all | 07:07 |
| Ulises1 | I need some help with ubuntu | 07:07 |
| Ulises1 | some technical help | 07:07 |
| chalcedony | Ulises1, it works best to say the problem | 07:07 |
| soreau | ! ask | Ulises1 | 07:07 |
| ubottu | Ulises1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:07 |
| Ulises1 | the ubuntu doesn't start up | 07:08 |
| nix-idioteque | EX. Do I look fat in these pants? | 07:08 |
| xmnt | Ulises1, did you hit the power button? | 07:08 |
| chalcedony | Ulises1, what have you done so far, what screens do you see? | 07:08 |
| nix-idioteque | repeat if necessary, it does get busy here | 07:08 |
| cainram | legend2440: AhA! this is the kind of thing i was looking for! let me take a look! | 07:08 |
| nix-idioteque | Ulises1: install it... | 07:08 |
| Ulises1 | The slogan UBUNTU | 07:08 |
| Ulises1 | that's what i see | 07:09 |
| * Painkilla05 pokes wsmith | 07:09 | |
| Ulises1 | it stops at the process of startig up | 07:09 |
| Ulises1 | freezes | 07:09 |
| soreau | Ulises1: What are the specs of the computer you're trying to run Ubuntu on? | 07:10 |
| owner_ | lstarnes how would I configure cups to work without ssl? | 07:10 |
| Ulises1 | all? | 07:10 |
| hermatize | ubbbey | 07:10 |
| lstarnes | owner_: I honestly don't know, sorry | 07:10 |
| owner_ | :) thanks | 07:10 |
| poet | where do I get '/swrast_dri.so' from? | 07:10 |
| xmnt | Ulises1, right when it starts the ubuntu screen hit alt+f2 ... this will let you see what's starting up and also the error messages that are normally hidden | 07:10 |
| Ulises1 | sorry | 07:10 |
| Ulises1 | is a HP 530 | 07:11 |
| Ulises1 | a notebook | 07:11 |
| poet | A program I have is looking for /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: and cant find it | 07:11 |
| Ulises1 | yes the problen is located in init | 07:11 |
| soreau | poet: What are you trying to do? | 07:11 |
| lstarnes | owner_: it's probably somewhere in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | 07:11 |
| Ulises1 | and there is a kernel panic | 07:11 |
| Ulises1 | banner | 07:11 |
| poet | soreau: use Xvfb | 07:11 |
| cainram | legend2440: Ok, it wasn't in the "desktop" xml but there is an xml file named for the folder from which I mounted the iso - if that makes sense... Should I delete this xml or edit it or what? | 07:11 |
| owner_ | I'll look there | 07:11 |
| Ulises1 | this is very difficult to explain this way | 07:11 |
| soreau | poet: What does 'glxinfo|grep renderer' say? | 07:11 |
| ujuntu | Hello | 07:12 |
| poet | soreau: glxinfo is not installed | 07:12 |
| mike_- | hello, i'm looking for some installation help, if anyone is available | 07:12 |
| cainram | legend2440: will it hurt to delete these xml files? | 07:12 |
| soreau | poet: Install mesa-utils | 07:13 |
| ujuntu | How do I find out which Glib version is installed on Ubuntu 8.04? | 07:13 |
| tasslehoff | I want to setup a network with WPA-PSK and TKIP encryption. Can't this be done from the network manager? Can't find any choices for it. | 07:13 |
| legend2440 | cainram: ok lets try this. open terminal and type sudo updatedb then when that finishes type locate <iconname>.volume or whatever it is and see if locate can find the actual icon | 07:13 |
| owner_ | /etc/cups/cupsd.conf says nothing about ssl only that it uses localhost:631 | 07:13 |
| chahine | slt | 07:14 |
| poet | soerau: here is what I get when I try to run glxinfo when Xvfb is bound to the display | 07:14 |

| clarkkent12880 | ok i'm a relative n00b to ubuntu and linux in general but the 10keys that are on the right side of a standard keyboard is supposed to work like in plain old windows right?

| clarkkent12880 | any ideas? | 07:17 |

| cainram | shroom: cool, keep on truckin | 07:18 |
| legend2440 | cainram: nothing with sudo updatedb that just updates the database that locate uses but hopefully locate <iconname>.volume wil give path to the icon | 07:18 |

| mathijs | Hi all, I have some packages I make some changes to and rebuild them to .debs. I keep the .deb files in a directory and put a deb file: line in my sources.list. Now, I would like apt to prefer my packages over the default ones (/apt/preferences) but how can I do this? Do I need to set a Origin: line in control? or is there a better way? | 07:22 |
| legend2440 | cainram: it is safe to delete that file. it will be recreated next time you reboot. not sure if it will help though. or you could rename it by puttinng .bak to the end of it | 07:22 |
| cainram | legend2440: ah, good idea. I'll try. | 07:22 |

| ActionParsnip1 | AlHafoudh: oh so you mean the local disks in a system? | 09:16 |

| === hogan is now known as hogan_9 | ||
| ActionParsnip1 | AlHafoudh: i think if you install the network servers but target local disks it may just be silly enough to work | 09:19 |
| AlHafoudh | ActionParsnip1: how do you mean | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AlHafoudh: well the guide is talking about network shares over a network. rather than target remote shares, point the mount commands (or fstab) to the local partitions. It may just work | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | younder: what provider do you use? | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | younder: for email | 09:21 |
| tnoy | qwqwqqwqw, I find it odd that its not working for you. Other things that can give you hassles is there are permission errors, or you're using a Live CD that is 32bit when your system is 64bit (or vice versa)--but those would give different errors than you've posted | 09:21 |
| younder | ActionParsnip1: standard POP3 | 09:21 |
| hogan_9 | i have a usb device which is automatically detected and mounted (connected through usb hub in monitor), if i switch the monitor off the hub looses power, however, when i want to reconnect the usb device it is not detected. can i reset usb modules somehome? | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | younder: what is the name of the provider please. I may be able to find a guide | 09:22 |
| qwqwqqwqw | tnoy: maybe thats it, i am having 32bit cd and 64bit system | 09:22 |
| younder | ActionParsnip1: telenor | 09:22 |
| hogan_9 | *todate i have to restart the computer for the usb device to be recognised again ... :( which is not satisfactory | 09:23 |
| tnoy | qwqwqqwqw, try to run /mnt/bin/bash directly | 09:23 |
| qwqwqqwqw | tnoy: bash: /mnt/ubuntu/bin/bash: cannot execute binary file | 09:23 |
| tnoy | qwqwqqwqw, but yeah, you'll definately need the same Live CD as your system. It MIGHT work if your Live CD was 64-bit and your system is 32-bit... but I've never tried it. | 09:24 |
| tnoy | qwqwqqwqw, yeah, thats your problem then. | 09:24 |
| qwqwqqwqw | tnoy: ook, will be back if something wont work, tnx | 09:24 |

| ubottu | allan8904: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:34 |
| jpic | nobody? | 09:34 |
| allan8904 | I booted up my computer and everything was normal, then about after 2 minutes all the applications that i launched's text has been replaced by random "------ - - - -- - --- --" everwhere so i cant read the buttons or menus or anything. i tried deleting the .kde folder and it still does the same thing after reboot. Any ideas? | 09:34 |
| jpic | i guess i'll mount -o loop /cdrom/usr /usr then | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jpic: you can boot to live cd to resize partitions if you have space | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jpic: or plug in another usb storage and symlink the folder after copying the data across | 09:36 |
| jpic | i don't have a cd reader | 09:36 |
| jpic | actually symlinks won't work on vfat | 09:36 |

| xim_ | for some reason evolution wont let me resize the side panel and its shrunk to where all the names of my folders just say ... do i need to reinstall evolution? | 09:36 |

| jpic | can't i allocate more space for the squashfs? either on the fly either by booting ro single? | 09:36 |

| Ytxx | ActionParsnip1: after the third attmt i get this | 10:17 |
| Ytxx | Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). | 10:17 |
| allan8904 | jrib: just so its optimised. I know 5% doesnt sound like much, however when you're running it on a 1.73ghz lapy with an intel915gma card it makes a small difference | 10:17 |
| vigo | ScreaminIke: There is a point there about checking and or unchecking Analog/Digital. | 10:17 |
| pythagoras | is ubuntu the best?? | 10:17 |
| vigo | !best | 10:18 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:18 |
| pythagoras | is it? | 10:18 |
| jrib | allan8904: just your machine... Anyway there's apt-build but imo it's a complete waste of time | 10:18 |
| vigo | I like it. | 10:18 |
| prince_jammys | it's the best distro of the ones that's named after south african words. | 10:18 |
| kitallis | okay | 10:18 |
| pythagoras | what bout ubuntu ultimate is that ok? | 10:18 |
| allan8904 | pythagoras: nah gentoos the best distro | 10:18 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip1: should I add "AllowUsers testuser" to ssh_config ? | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Ytxx: then the account is most likely bad, I'd check group membership | 10:18 |
| pythagoras | gentoos? | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Ytxx: makes sense | 10:18 |
| allan8904 | *gentoo | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ultimate | pythagoras | 10:19 |
| ubottu | pythagoras: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition | 10:19 |
| jrib | pythagoras: try both and use what is best for you | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: there is no best | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: best is an opinion so is not concrete | 10:19 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip1: what do you make sense ? | 10:19 |
| tnoy | gentoo is great until and emerge world f's up your system | 10:19 |
| vigo | Thank you ActionParsnip1. | 10:19 |
| kitallis | I've got these three separate blocks of unallocated space, can't i somehow merge them in to 'free' space? | 10:19 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 10:19 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1:True but gentoo is bleeding edge, optimised too the teeth however it just takes alot of hand configuring and time to install things...something i dont have time for at the moment | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Ytxx: to add the new user to the allowed users in sshd_config or whatever you said | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: doesnt make it better | 10:20 |
| pythagoras | so what are u using allan? | 10:20 |
| ubuntu | any one know of a good ip blocker? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: i personally think puppy is the best, but thats my opinion | 10:20 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: what makes puppy better then ubuntu? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: there is no universal best anything | 10:20 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: i only installed puppy on a powerpc machine because i really had no other option | 10:21 |
| pythagoras | hmm everyone wreckon ubantu the distro around.. | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: its light and suits my personal needs perfectly, it also runs on ,y ancient systems | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | s/y/my | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: so to me it is the best, millions would agree, millions would disagree | 10:21 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: what GUI do you use? | 10:21 |
| zebaztian | what app can i use to check hash sums of an ubuntu iso? | 10:21 |
| kitallis | can anyone help me with that ^^ | 10:21 |
| pythagoras | word on the street has it ubantu the go... | 10:21 |
| erUSUL | !md5sum | zebaztian | 10:21 |
| ubottu | zebaztian: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 10:21 |
| kitallis | I've got these three separate blocks of unallocated space, can't i somehow merge them in to 'free' space? | 10:22 |
| kitallis | ^^ | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: openbox | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: my more powerful systems run lxde | 10:22 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: can i ask why? | 10:22 |
| kaddy | hi | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: lightness | 10:22 |
| zebaztian | can i download with apt whilst ¡'m downloaading something through wget -c? | 10:22 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: whats wrong with something like KDE | 10:22 |
| erUSUL | kitallis: partitions ? use gparted... | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zebaztian: sure you can | 10:22 |
| pythagoras | anyone here run windows | 10:22 |
| erUSUL | zebaztian: yes | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: fat slow, and kde is really flaky | 10:22 |
| vigo | kitallis: Back it up and run a disk utility, gparted is good. | 10:23 |
| slobad23 | is camstudio the best piece of software for desktop videos? | 10:23 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip1, are you on gui? | 10:23 |
| erUSUL | pythagoras: in ##windows | 10:23 |
| kaddy | kde is flaky? | 10:23 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: see i think KDE is nice, shiney and full of features | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zebaztian: indeed | 10:23 |
| kaddy | pffft | 10:23 |
| prince_jammys | optimize + kde == funny combination. | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: i dont like shiny. i want the job done | 10:23 |
| pythagoras | i like the sphere in ubantu | 10:23 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip1, which DE? | 10:23 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: whats teh point of doing it on an eyesore though? | 10:23 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip1: I have managed to login . | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kaddy: is in my experience | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: its not, looks fine here | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zebaztian: lxde | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Ytxx: wtg :D | 10:23 |
| pythagoras | the sphere desktop is cool | 10:24 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip1, is that ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| kitallis | erUSUL, can't those are 3 seperate blocks, if i make a primary partition outta any one of them, then the other too would be left unallocated cause of the <4 limit | 10:24 |
| Ytxx | But there's something different from the root user . . | 10:24 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: The thing is that the second you run any kde app all teh libs are loaded in teh background | 10:24 |
| kaddy | Ubuntu is good, but its for Noobs | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zebaztian: no, lxde is a de. you can run it on ubuntu if you wish: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/images/4/4c/LXDE_desktop_full.png | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !lxde | zebaztian | 10:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lxde | 10:24 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: so you may as well use the GUI too | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !info lxde | 10:24 |
| ubottu | lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.2.1+svn20080509-5 (jaunty), package size 2 kB, installed size 40 kB | 10:24 |
| kaddy | lxde is da bomb! | 10:24 |
| ScreaminIke | kaddy, try to stay on topic | 10:24 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip1, can i run lxde on hardy? | 10:24 |
| erUSUL | kitallis: can you move/copy some paritions to make room ? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zebaztian: sure can | 10:25 |
| zaggynl | LXDE is quite nice | 10:25 |
| kaddy | i am staying on topic | 10:25 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip1, is it getable from the repos? | 10:25 |
| zaggynl | full desktop in ~60MB | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | zebaztian: sudo apt-get install lxde | 10:25 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip1: is there a way of listing the users ? | 10:25 |
| zaggynl | as opposed to the default 200+MB gnome ubuntu desktop | 10:25 |
| kaddy | Don't you ubuntu guys get sick of the same old dead inovation Gnome desktop though? seriously? | 10:25 |
| kitallis | erUSUL, i did, i had 2 before, now I have 3 :/ | 10:25 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: But you dont get like 95% of the features | 10:25 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip1, is it lighter than xfce? | 10:25 |
| kaddy | and gnome 3/shell is utter crap | 10:25 |
| jrib | !ot | kaddy | 10:25 |
| ubottu | kaddy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Ytxx: type: users at command line | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: what features? | 10:26 |
| kaddy | only noob niggas use ubuntu or gnome | 10:26 |
| kitallis | lol | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | allan8904: i can install any app from any DE and use it in a light environment | 10:26 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: can you have desktop compozing on it? | 10:26 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip1, can i compiz eyecandy on lxde? | 10:26 |
| zebaztian | haha | 10:26 |
| ScreaminIke | ActionParsnip1, can ubotu fix kaddy? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: sure, you can use lxde + compiz if you really want | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: like I said. i dont like ll that stuff | 10:27 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: the new user 'tesuser' doesnt apear on the list only root and admin | 10:27 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip1: what specs are your comp? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: which one? | 10:27 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: the "good one" | 10:27 |
| kaddy | what would you know parsnip! afterall... your just a White Fake carrot! | 10:27 |
| allan8904 | oooohhhh burn lols | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: fileserver = gentoo + 64mb edo ram + p100 mmx | 10:28 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, is lxde lighter than xfce and as manipulable as kde? | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: router = bsd + 500Mhz P3 + 256Mb SDRAM | 10:28 |
| kitallis | erUSUL, the problem is that the unallocated space is on different sectors of the disk, so there isn't just one block i can partition into | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: desktop = AM2 Semp 3000 1.6Ghz + 2Gb DDR2 + 250Gb SATA2 | 10:28 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: ah no wonder you use that then | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: i like it. i can run full kde + compz rubbish on my desktop. i choose not to | 10:29 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: do you know why the new user is not listed ? | 10:29 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: yeah but it would be slow on it | 10:29 |
| erUSUL | kitallis: so you are stuck. you ca not make new paritions nor move existing ones ? | 10:29 |
| ScreaminIke | i'm currently using 400MHz and 128MB ram. lololol | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: lxde has similar min requirements but actually uses less than xfce in reality | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: it performs well | 10:29 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: on my lappy is slightly sluggish, however on my desktop its sweet as | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: i can play penumbra and urban terror very well | 10:30 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, will my ATI radeon graphics 3200 work well with it? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: as wel as doom3 via wine | 10:30 |
| Kroline | holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 10:30 |
| Kroline | hellooooo | 10:30 |
| pythagoras | later all | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: sure will :) | 10:30 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: why not just use windows for gaming... | 10:30 |
| ScreaminIke | kitallis, you have to unmount a partition to edit it | 10:30 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: i'm all for linux however i'd like the best tool for teh job | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: you seem to be mixing "features" with "eye candy" | 10:30 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, what's lxde based on? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: windows costs and linux is free, linux plays the games I like toplay so why should i waste my money | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: gtk | 10:31 |
| kitallis | ScreaminIke, obviously :/ | 10:31 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: i got windows for "free" from uni, we all were supplied with a copy and serial for windows xP, vista business and windows 7 | 10:31 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, i had a horrible time with the ati driver, then i installed the newest one specific to this chipset and it has slowed down my laptop | 10:32 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: so price wasnt a factor for me | 10:32 |
| kitallis | erUSUL, well I can make only ONE partition from any one of those unallocated space | 10:32 |
| ScreaminIke | i have a wintendows install on my 'good' box. it's a hassle to take down my ssh/apache/gnump3d and have to reboot every time i want services i've come to depend upon | 10:32 |
| kitallis | but i want to merge them and create a single one | 10:32 |
| kitallis | guess i cant | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: well i'm a bit older than uni, so i dont get given much. I do get free PC systems that folks dont want though | 10:32 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, so no matter what libraries, gnome and kde apps should run faster considering its low resource consumption? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: yes as the DE itself uses less to run | 10:33 |
| MrSchmo | anyone have this program qt4 setting in menu: system>Preference and what does it do? | 10:33 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: probs why you dont like the eyecandy :p | 10:33 |
| allan8904 | ActionParsnip: anyway nice discussing it with you | 10:33 |
| erUSUL | kitallis: if you can not copy/move other partitions so the space is continous in the disk you can not. | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | allan8904: no, even if a had a blade system with 200 CPUs and 2Tb RAM, I'd still use LXDE | 10:34 |
| erUSUL | MrSchmo: change the appearance settings of qt4 apps | 10:34 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, is it buggy? | 10:35 |
| zebaztian | does it have releasesees parallel to ubuntu? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: not at all | 10:35 |
| Ytxx | ActionParsnip: users dosnt list 'testuser' is this the expected behaviour ? | 10:35 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, is it as versatile? as in can i set things the way i want them like on kde ? | 10:35 |
| zebaztian | i remember that was one feature i never liked about xfce much | 10:36 |
| zebaztian | i felt i couldnt bend it and shape it my way | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: not so much, the gui is quite constrained but you can set window decorators and background images and icons nice | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Ytxx: not sure man | 10:37 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, what's its navigator? | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: navigator? | 10:38 |
| zebaztian | the...nto window manager | 10:38 |
| zebaztian | hmmm | 10:38 |
| zebaztian | like dolphin or nautilus | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: oh, file manager | 10:38 |
| alus | nginx released a security fix yesterday, at version 0.6.39. ubuntu base 9.04 still lists 0.6.35 in apt | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: you can run either of those in LXDE | 10:38 |
| alus | when will ubuntu get the security update? | 10:38 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, what's the default though? | 10:39 |
| zebaztian | it looks very Windows-like on those screenshots | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: Thunar is default I think | 10:39 |
| MenZa | alus: You may be better off asking in #ubuntu-motu | 10:40 |
| MenZa | alus: Alternatively, create a ticket in !Launchpad | 10:40 |
| alus | what is "motu"? | 10:40 |
| rvb | hello, i bought a new PC and installed Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 i can hear sound but my mic isnt working | 10:40 |
| rvb | who can i make my mic work> | 10:40 |
| rvb | ? | 10:40 |
| prince_jammys | !motu |alus | 10:41 |
| ubottu | alus: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 10:41 |
| MenZa | !sound | rvb | 10:41 |
| ubottu | rvb: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 10:41 |
| MenZa | rvb: Check those links out for your mic problems. | 10:41 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, can i run ubuntu with lxde alone? as in no gnome, no kde | 10:41 |
| MenZa | zebaztian: Sure. | 10:41 |
| rvb | thanks.. i'll do that and post back | 10:41 |
| zebaztian | MenZa, with all the same repos and apps though? | 10:42 |
| MenZa | zebaztian: Certainly. The repositories are independent of whatever DE/WM you use. | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: sure if you want but you will not be able to use the apps that use those libs | 10:42 |
| MenZa | zebaztian: So are the apps. Some will require gtk libraries to load, but they'll run. | 10:42 |
| lylith | i need alot of help from anyone who knows, my problem is this, i have a pc that had vista pre-installed from the store, i hated vista, so i installed ubuntu 9.4 to the machine, and completely removed the vista partition.. well, that was a while ago, but now i got a new machine for ubuntu wich im on now, and i want xp on my old vista machine, well, when i try to use my xp disk it loads all the setup files and when it gets to the part "st | 10:43 |
| lylith | arting windows" (on the very first blue screen where it loads drivers for setup) it goes to a blue screen and says a problem has been detected and my computer needs to be shut down.. aka its the blue screen of doom, i cant even get to setup... ok so, i completely removed my ubuntu partition using the live cd, then went back out and tried again, got the bsod again... i really need xp on the machine, and google didnt help at all, anyone h | 10:43 |
| lylith | ere know anything that could help? | 10:43 |
| FloodBot2 | lylith: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:43 |
| MenZa | lylith: Sounds like a problem with the XP cd, not Ubuntu. | 10:43 |
| jrib | lylith: ##windows for help with that | 10:43 |
| MenZa | lylith: Alternatively your hardware setup. Try ##windows instead. | 10:43 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, how do you mean i won't be able to use apps that use those libs? explain please | 10:43 |
| lylith | i thought so... but it cant be, the xp cd is the same i've always used x.x | 10:44 |
| zebaztian | ha i just saw this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu | 10:44 |
| MenZa | zebaztian: Most applications use either Qt (KDE libraries) or GTK+ (GNOME libraries). If you simply launch your desktop with lxde, those libraries will still be available for the applications to use. If you remove the libraries, however, you may run into some issues. | 10:44 |
| brijith1 | is there any one to Help me in translating labels in galde ......????? | 10:45 |
| zebaztian | so it would be better to have both kde and gnome as a log option? won't that slow down the system in the long run though? | 10:45 |
| zebaztian | MenZa, ActionParsnip | 10:45 |
| qianjigui | can you see more about it detail? | 10:45 |
| qianjigui | brijith1:can you see more about it detail? | 10:46 |
| MenZa | zebaztian: I suggest just leaving GNOME on it. If you need Qt libs for anything, they'll download. | 10:46 |
| brijith1 | is there any one to help me in translating labels in glade | 10:46 |
| konza | anyone knows anything about mysql injection? pls reply | 10:46 |
| zebaztian | MenZa, so I can run any kde app, both on the gui and the shell, from lxde? | 10:46 |
| bazhang | konza, cracking? | 10:47 |
| prince_jammys | konza: /j #mysql | 10:47 |
| brijith1 | qianjigui: I have a python application which uses glade interface | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: if an app needs libs then it will need it installing so you may have to have them installed so you may need to have gnome installed | 10:47 |
| konza | bazhang, nope........ i wanna learn hacking.. and not cracking.. | 10:47 |
| prince_jammys | wrong channel for either. | 10:48 |
| bazhang | konza, that is beyond the scope of this channel | 10:48 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, what about kde? | 10:48 |
| brijith1 | qianjigui: what I want to do is to translate all the messages in the window | 10:48 |
| konza | bazhang, is there any other channel for that? | 10:48 |
| qianjigui | to which language? | 10:48 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, MenZa regardless though it will still perform better/faster than gnome or kde right? | 10:49 |
| bazhang | konza, no idea /msg alis list *term_you_want* | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | zebaztian: if you want to run kde apps ten they will need some kde libs, so they will need to be installed. apt-get will manage this | 10:50 |
| arquebus | konza- you may find people who will discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:50 |
| qianjigui | the better irc tool for ubuntu is? | 10:50 |
| allan8904 | pidgin lol | 10:51 |
| ScreaminIke | irssi | 10:51 |
| prince_jammys | !irc | 10:51 |
| ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 10:51 |
| prince_jammys | err, no. | 10:51 |
| konza | bazhang, can u pls explain that command what u told? | 10:51 |
| qianjigui | thx | 10:51 |
| zebaztian | ActionParsnip, so what you're saying is that if i say want to use konqueror, sudo apt-get konqueror in a lxde only paradigm wiill take care of installing the qt libs on its own? | 10:51 |
| bazhang | konza, let's discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:51 |
| brijith1 | Help mmeeee | 10:51 |
| prince_jammys | zebaztian: yes, apt will take care of installing/informing you of required dependencies. | 10:52 |
| zebaztian | great, so pretty much install gnome and then lxde | 10:53 |

| ActionParsnip | allan8904: ? | 10:56 |
| Dougal | I'm pretty new to setting up SSH or FTP, And i thought i'd installed enough stuff to be a backend for both of them, but apparantly not | 10:56 |
| Dougal | what do I need on the desktop upstairs before it'll operate as an ftp server? | 10:57 |
| indus | hi | 10:57 |
| hateball | Dougal: Is there any reason why you need FTP? sftp is a whole lot more secure and easy to use (imo) | 10:58 |
| Dougal | hateball: sftp would be fine too | 10:59 |
| hateball | !info ssh | Dougal | 10:59 |

| hateball | Dougal: that should be all you need to get going | 10:59 |
| Dougal | hateball: so if i can ssh into my computer, i should be able to sftp in as well? even if i can't ftp in? | 11:00 |
| hateball | Dougal: Yes | 11:00 |
| Dougal | hah, it worked. | 11:00 |
| Dougal | I feel kind of silly now... | 11:00 |
| hateball | Dougal: sftp and ftp/s are not the same :) | 11:00 |

| Myrtti | konza: or in system - administration - users and groups | 11:02 |
| Dougal | yes, i think i knew that. I just thought of sftp as the more advanced option and assumed it'd be *harder* to get working as a result. Anyways, thanks! | 11:02 |

| Wistful | I just downloaded the linux-source with sudo apt-get linux-source and in the ReadMe page it says : "Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net." ?? | 11:19 |
| Wistful | What is that? | 11:19 |
| StupidWeasel | A description of what linux is =P | 11:19 |
| Wistful | written from scratch by Linus Torvalds ? they refer to the kernel or the whole OS ? | 11:19 |
| m1r | ActionParsnip: Package envyng-gtk is not installed, so not removed | 11:19 |
| indus | Wistful: ya its true as far as fundamental stuff | 11:19 |
| StupidWeasel | The OS is GNU | 11:20 |
| indus | Wistful: or the way the kernel is written | 11:20 |
| Wistful | they wrote it wrong! | 11:20 |
| StupidWeasel | Or rather, started out as gnu. The kernel is linux == linus trovalds et al. | 11:20 |

| ActionParsnip | gharz: awesome...oh, oh well | 12:07 |
| presidente | obiwan__ the dipendancies are ok | 12:08 |
| Slart | ubuntu: are you playing 5.1 sound to test it? I'm not sure if there is anything in the default install to "enhance" 2.0 sound to 5.1 but afaik it should play 5.1 sound through all the speakers if they are there | 12:09 |
| obiwan__ | hm then i don't know :( | 12:10 |
| ubuntu | Slart, I can't make 5.1 work by default.. I set on 6 channels, but nothing. | 12:10 |
| ubuntu | in alsamixer | 12:10 |
| smn_ | ActionParsnip im confused. how do i in gui give myself acess to this foler /opt ? | 12:10 |

| Giddion | hi, ive booted from the live cd, how do i find info like CPU type / speed, memory info and HDD info? | 12:10 |
| obiwan__ | proc/cpuinfo | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: you can run your file browser using gksdo | 12:11 |
| obiwan__ | /proc/cpuinfo | 12:11 |
| Giddion | just type that into terminal? | 12:11 |
| Slart | ubuntu: I don't have a surround sound setup for my desktop so I can't really test it myself.. you've searched the forums? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: i wouldnt give yourself ownership of /opot, use a subfolder instead | 12:11 |
| ubuntu | Slart, yes but I couldn't find anything for this kind of sound system.. it's on AC3 :| | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: /opt sorry | 12:12 |
| smn_ | ActionParsnip yeah thats fine. subfolderwise i mean. | 12:12 |
| Giddion | i get Permission Denied | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: sudo mkdir /opt/folder; sudo chown :$USER /opt/folder; sudo chmod g+rw /opt/folder | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: the folder will be owned by root but you will give your user full access with the chown/chmod commands | 12:14 |

| tosmo | hi, after upgrading to 9.04/jaunty /etc/network/interfaces seems not to work anymore. there's a pre-up rule for my ppp connection, which isn't executed anymore. is /etc/network/interfaces deprecated for some reason? | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tosmo: interfaces supercedes all:) | 12:24 |
| tyfj | Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/271414/ any hints on how to use: find -regex | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: you ran the command as root, so $USER will turn into root and not your normal user | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: you shouldnt be using root and the account should not be enabled for secuity | 12:25 |
| smn_ | argh. doing it again | 12:26 |
| Slart | tyfj: can you explain what you're trying to do? running "find -regex '.+'" gives me lots and lots of files when I run it in my home folder | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: stay off root, youwill get less issues | 12:26 |
| smn_ | i can make folders and files now | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: as user? | 12:27 |
| manoue | tosmo I apologize for ActionParsnip's ridiculous and useless answer. No /etc/network/interfaces is not deprecated | 12:27 |
| smn_ | as user | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: cool :) | 12:27 |
| tyfj | Slart: it should do what you got, but "find -regex '.+' " give me nothing always, in any folders | 12:27 |
| manoue | tosmo are you sure your updated file is the same as the original? | 12:28 |

| Moz_ | Hi. Im new to linux but would like to have a server running linux and asterisk. Im going to install ubuntu but would people recommend the server or desktop edition? Im thinking server as I can then use the server as my office server as well as asterisk box. | 12:41 |
| simplexio | Moz_: server if you can handle cmdline | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: looks great, you can now write their as your user | 12:42 |
| Halitech | Moz_, are you familiar with using the command line? | 12:42 |
| ukev | Dr_Willis, I tried that already, also I could't find a place in gconf where firerfox is mentioned to be started | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | smn_: can you also use http://pastebin.com it doesnt have all that adware crap | 12:42 |
| simplexio | Moz_: dekstop eats RAM | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ukev: theres also system settings --> Session manager - It has a check box to 'start with a empty session' | 12:42 |
| Moz_ | Simplxio / Halitech - Im not confident using the command line yet. I plan on learning a lot more but at the moment dont have the experience. | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | jakes: tar does use -C, maybe it needs to go before the file | 12:42 |

| Skarpz | I downloaded Mythbuntu on my system and now want it off, how do I do that? | 12:43 |
| Moz_ | Halitech - ok thanks for the info. | 12:43 |
| Halitech | !ebox | Moz_ | 12:43 |
| ubottu | Moz_: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 12:43 |
| simplexio | Moz_: yeah. well basicly you do all conf into files. so you learn cli command and howto use nano quite fast, besides all howtos for server side are pretty much for cli | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | KoolD: if you have it attatched and run: sudo lshw -C network you can see what chip it uses and wesearch from that | 12:44 |
| Moz_ | simplexio / Halitech: Thanks for the quick advice. I'll give server editiona try and see how I get on. | 12:44 |
| simplexio | Moz_: and like i said, if you run X + gnome (default ubuntu desktop) you use alot RAM for it | 12:44 |
| KoolD | ActionParsnip:thanks, i'll check it out | 12:45 |
| floris | well, i am glad this worked, lol, ubuntu for the win. now to find uot how to let the ubuntu 9 server edition to find the wireless connection and set a pass for it, etc, .. and auto connect, .. on ethernet it is not a problem, but doing wifi is a bit more tricky for me. | 12:45 |
| simplexio | Moz_: just learn to love bash, <TAB> extend commnds or give option out on cli, helps alot | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | KoolD: if nothing comes up, use lsusb you can then search for the 8 character hex code | 12:45 |
| ukev | Dr_Willis, hm... any other idea? is there no documentation about where startup-hooks can be? | 12:45 |

| s12en7s120 | ohh shoot, lol | 12:52 |

| s12en7s120 | kernel 2.6.28.15 | 12:59 |
| shos | Slart: sometimes its ok but sometmimes its really slow like 1.5 mb sec | 12:59 |
| ukev | jrib, the .config/autostart/ directory, .bashrc, gnome settings -> session/startup settings.... My firefox is starting every login but in none of these lists | 13:00 |
| Slart | shos: I don't have any good solutions for it... I just avoid using usb sticks and large files =/ I'm guessing one of these days someone will look up while reading the kernel source code and say "Hey, what's that comma doing there" or something similar | 13:00 |
| s12en7s120 | or if thats not the one then usually kernel 2.6.28.14 will fix the problem | 13:00 |

| Nicd- | Dr_Willis: I want it to start the vncserver in place of the normal desktop. The computer is to be used via VNC only. | 13:02 |
| ukev | jrib, yes, I tried that | 13:03 |
| jrib | ukev: try the grep then | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Nicd-: theres 2 ways to do vnc.. Share/show the current desktop OR have a hidden vnc session thats NOT visiable from the local machine. | 13:03 |

| amnesia | that's what I dont get.. | 13:04 |
| Blizzerand | tawan : to make opera 10 work you have to do some tweak arounds . Try #opra | 13:04 |
| ukev | jrib, the grep need to much time because there are to much data in my home-dirt | 13:04 |
| Halitech | Nicd-, vnc isn't a desktop environment so you can't use it as replacement for gnome/kde/etc | 13:04 |

| Blizzerand | tawan : I meant #opera | 13:04 |

| pythagoras | is ubantu really good?? | 13:05 |
| duffydack | Nicd-, I`d probably use NX if I wanted to connect and run a desktop session as needed. | 13:05 |
| jrib | pythagoras: try it for yourself and see if it is really good for *you* | 13:05 |
| amnesia | jrib: others can only execute aka view the contents right? | 13:05 |
| Nicd- | Halitech, Dr_Willis, isn't Xvnc supposed to work as an X server for the applications? shouldn't it be possible for it to replace X then? | 13:05 |
| jrib | amnesia: -ENOCONTEXT | 13:05 |
| pythagoras | what do you use jrib | 13:06 |
| Blizzerand | pythagoras : Yep or you could try any other linux distributions too | 13:06 |
| duffydack | Nicd-, is ssh -X forwarding not an option ? | 13:06 |
| Slart | pythagoras: nope.. but ubuntu is ok | 13:06 |
| Halitech | Nicd-, no, it acts as a forwarder for a currently running x server | 13:06 |
| amnesia | -enocontext? | 13:06 |
| jrib | pythagoras: I use ubuntu and arch... | 13:06 |
| pythagoras | what is similar to windows... | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Nicd-: you are not understanding how vnc works. Since you are 'headless' you dont want to use Xvnc or X11vnc. You want a normal 'vncserver' | 13:06 |
| jrib | amnesia: content of what? | 13:06 |
| amnesia | jrib: the folder (drwxr-xr-x 2 amnesia amnesia 4096 2009-09-15 14:02 .) | 13:06 |
| KULA_ | hi :) | 13:07 |
| jrib | amnesia: yeah, others can 'cd' into and list contents | 13:07 |

| pythagoras | sure | 13:08 |

| Nicd- | Halitech: this says otherwise: http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/man/Xvnc.html | 13:08 |

| Ulises | Blizzerand, did you watch the ling i've sent at pastebin? | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Nicd-: so theres no need to start up X or gdm. Peronally i found 'headless' caused to many problems. | 13:09 |

| Slart | amnesia: do you get the same result if you create the folder somewhere else? say in /opt or something | 13:10 |
| jrib | amnesia: that's not "any other user". That's amnesia. amnesia has write privileges to the parent directory, so amnesia can delete contents | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Nicd-: you can set up vncserver to do that. | 13:10 |
| Blizzerand | Ulises : What were uyou trying to do to begin with | 13:10 |
| pythagoras | jrib thx | 13:10 |

| Slart | amnesia: I'm starting to think it's something along the lines of "you own everything in your home folder, no matter what" | 13:10 |

| exarkun | On Hardy, when I run update-manager, it immediately opens a dialog box titled "Not all updates can be installed" and then prompts me to run a partial upgrade. How can I tell what updates couldn't be installed, and why? What is this a partial upgrade to? | 13:36 |

| Blizzerand_ | !e2fsck | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about e2fsck | 13:38 |
| Myrtti | indus: pro tip: use English | 13:38 |
| Blizzerand_ | !fsck | 13:38 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 13:38 |

| arand | * &disown | 13:56 |

| ManDay | Guys I can't redirect output of a certain program to file. I do &> logfile programname and actually everything goes into logfile BUT the only thing that I really care about is still printed to screen - how can this be?!? | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: #!/bin/bash | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: compiz --replace | 13:58 |
| LjL | ManDay: it's being output to stderr | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: have those 2 lines in the file | 13:59 |
| grawity | LjL: But &> redirects both. | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: save the file in /usr/bin as startcompiz | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: then run: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/startcompiz | 13:59 |
| grawity | ActionParsnip: Why not exec compiz --replace? | 13:59 |
| prince_jammys | ManDay: perhaps your prog outputs directly to the terminal. | 13:59 |
| zamba | how do i set the timezone? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | grawity: same thing.... | 14:00 |
| LjL | grawity: oh. i didn't know, always did both separately. | 14:00 |
| grawity | ActionParsnip: Without 'exec', you have a useless /bin/bash running in a corner. | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: you may want to add a & on the end | 14:00 |
| ManDay | prince_jammys, what is the technical difference? | 14:00 |
| ManDay | (what does the program do differently) ? | 14:00 |
| prince_jammys | ManDay: ie. (in a shell script): echo foo > /dev/tty | 14:00 |
| ManDay | ah | 14:01 |
| grawity | ManDay: It might write to /dev/tty instead of stdout. | 14:01 |
| prince_jammys | &> will not redirect that | 14:01 |
| talin | how is this possible? sudo mkdir /usr/local/steam; sudo wget http://.../hldsupdatetool.bin; sudo chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin; sudo ./hldsupdatetool.bin ... "no such file or dir"? | 14:01 |
| ManDay | ok, but how do i log this stuff then? | 14:01 |
| grawity | ActionParsnip: And with 'exec', compiz replaces bash. | 14:01 |
| prince_jammys | ManDay: well, first make certain that that is really the case. | 14:01 |
| ManDay | prince_jammys, it most likely is the case - as you said | 14:02 |
| ManDay | So how do I log what it sends to the tty directly? | 14:02 |
| prince_jammys | painfully. | 14:02 |
| jrib | talin: you're missing a file or directory, not necessarily that one. See if you have those ia32* packages installed.... | 14:02 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: add an a on the end of what? | 14:02 |
| prince_jammys | i don't even know. perhaps with a tool like screen | 14:02 |
| ManDay | prince_jammys, thats a good idea | 14:02 |
| ManDay | ill try | 14:02 |
| prince_jammys | or maybe 'script', which i've never used. | 14:03 |
| talin | jrib: the problem is thati don't know that the ia32-equivalent packages are called on freebsd | 14:03 |
| ManDay | prince_jammys, huh? | 14:03 |
| * jrib looks at channel name | 14:03 | |
| prince_jammys | ManDay: man script also to see if it's of use. | 14:03 |
| talin | jrib: i've been reading troubleshooting stuff for linux | 14:03 |
| jrib | talin: freebsd has a channel on freenode iirc | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: the line: compiz --replace & is correct. I missed the & | 14:03 |
| talin | jrib: ? this is freebsd... but there is 0 documentation for freebsd and steam | 14:04 |
| Pici | talin: This channel is #ubuntu | 14:04 |
| jrib | talin: this is #ubuntu, try the freebsd channel | 14:04 |
| talin | oops, wrong window | 14:04 |
| Idhan | I have problem with the java plugin with firefox ... java is installed but firefox doesnt use it..how can I do it? | 14:04 |
| ManDay | prince_jammys, if you could tell me how to make a terminal scrollable i could also go with that. my problem is that the program crashes and gives an error message which is too long to fit into the terminal - so i cant see its beginning | 14:04 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: i opened leafpad with the gksudo, i pasted on one line #!/bin/bash and under in another line compiz --replace then i saved it as startcompiz in usr/bin and then i ran that command you gave me, will from now compiz load everytime i log into lxde? | 14:04 |
| talin | jrib: heh, i'm trying to the same install on ubuntu ;) | 14:04 |
| prince_jammys | ManDay: run it in screen is one way | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: no, | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: run: gksudo leafpad /usr/bin/startcompiz and change compiz --replace to compiz --replace & | 14:05 |
| zebastian | what does it do then ActionParsnip | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: its a script we need to call at startup | 14:06 |
| grawity | ManDay: What terminal are you using? gnome-terminal, xterm, Linux console, PuTTY? | 14:06 |
| === jason is now known as Guest80129 | ||
| ManDay | gnomer terminal Granis | 14:06 |
| ManDay | sorry, grawity | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: you then need to run: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/startcompiz | 14:06 |
| grawity | ManDay: And doesn't it have scrollbars? | 14:06 |
| ManDay | ermm no, maybe i disabled them | 14:06 |
| ManDay | ill take a look in the prefs | 14:06 |

| zebastian | ActionParsnip: done, how do i get compiz to load automatically every time i log onto lxde now? | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: you can then run: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/leafpad.desktop /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop && gksudo leafpad /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop | 14:07 |

| ActionParsnip | zebastian: in the file that opens, change the line that starts Exec= to read Exec=startcompiz | 14:09 |
| jrib | talin: what version of ubuntu? | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: save the file and close gedit | 14:09 |

| jrib | talin: what is the output of: uname -m | 14:10 |
| talin | jrib: x86_64 | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: you now have a launcher, you can now run: cd ~/.config/autostart; ln -s /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop . | 14:10 |
| jrib | talin: run « sudo apt-get update » and try to install the package again. If it still fails, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:11 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: i got one line that reads Exec=leafpad %f do i change it to Exec=startcompiz | 14:11 |
| zebastian | ? | 14:11 |
| talin | jrib: that worked! thank you | 14:11 |

| ikonia | http://tinyurl.com/test | 14:19 |
| jrib | bigcx2: you shouldn't have to refresh anything. That's the whole point of gconf | 14:19 |
| bigcx2 | hm | 14:19 |
| bigcx2 | well | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: ok, if you run ls do you see a folder named autostart | 14:19 |
| bigcx2 | jrib: i wanted to make a gconf change directly in the xml | 14:20 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: nope | 14:20 |
| Garp_ | Question: How can I change runlevel in recent ubuntu systems? I would like to restart most stuff (doing the equivalent of a telinit 1 telinit 5). Any suggestion ? THanks. | 14:20 |
| bigcx2 | jrib: and it didn't pick it up | 14:20 |
| jrib | bigcx2: why... use gconftool | 14:20 |
| bigcx2 | jrib: for a personal package | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: ok then run: mkdir ./autostart; cd autostart | 14:20 |
| zebastian | done | 14:20 |
| jrib | bigcx2: ask the gnome guys how to properly do that | 14:20 |
| ales | hallo | 14:21 |
| bigcx2 | jrib: just curious, do you work for canonical? | 14:21 |
| jrib | bigcx2: no | 14:21 |

| ActionParsnip | zebastian: now yo have the folder you cxan symlink in the apps you want to autostart | 14:23 |
| dayo | installing moodle on hardy with this guide: http://is.gd/3iBWy it says i need to install libapache2-mod-security, but it's neither in the debian nor the ubuntu repo. what do i do? | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: so you can run: ln -s /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop . | 14:23 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: can you explain what you just said | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: which? | 14:23 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: zebastian: now yo have the folder you cxan symlink in the apps you want to autostart | 14:24 |
| amnesia | jrib: | 14:24 |
| amnesia | ahh crap | 14:24 |
| jrib | amnesia: ? | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: if you want any apps to run at startup, then that folder is used | 14:24 |
| amnesia | ahh cwl you're still here | 14:24 |
| amnesia | well apparantly it has something to do with the desktop folder | 14:25 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: so now lxde WILL run on start up with compiz | 14:25 |
| jrib | amnesia: cleaning apt so yeah :) | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: you can create syblic links to the desktop files in /usr/share/applications. symlinks use no space and will make whatever is linked, run at statup | 14:25 |
| amnesia | I guess it is inheriting the permissions of its parent folder | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: did you make the link? | 14:25 |
| amnesia | but how that works, I havent got a clue | 14:25 |
| amnesia | lol is your cache that full? | 14:25 |
| jrib | amnesia: no, didn't you see what I told you before? You can only delete foo/bar if you have write permissions on foo, which amnesia does | 14:25 |
| zebastian | ln -s /usr/share/applications/startcompiz.desktop . ActionParsnip? | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: yes | 14:26 |
| amnesia | what's foo? | 14:26 |
| amnesia | and what's bar:p | 14:26 |
| zebastian | ok brb let me go check that it works | 14:26 |
| amnesia | foobar sounds real familiar | 14:26 |
| jrib | amnesia: an arbitrary directory, and bar is arbitrary file inside foo | 14:26 |
| prince_jammys | names used for examples. | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: once that link (or you can use raw .desktop files) exists, it will run at startup | 14:26 |
| amnesia | jrib: I've also made a new user and tried to remove it with that account, which worked | 14:26 |
| {g} | Hey People! How can I move+resize the partition I am using as / ? gparted wont let me when started while the partition is used. When I start Ubuntu from CD gparted is not installed. Should I use parted? | 14:26 |

| ActionParsnip | harisund: no it shouldnt as neither of those contain acro | 14:32 |
| harisund | ActionParsnip, I recall there being a mozilla plugin on earlier versions of Ubuntu. I have all the universe/multiverse repos enabled and even added the Medibuntu one | 14:32 |
| harisund | ActionParsnip, The acro is from Macromedia | 14:32 |
| w0ls0n | is there a way to find out if it's getting the backup dns info now? | 14:32 |
| {g} | hmm.. gparted shows me the extended partition with a keyring next to it and wont let me change its position. why that? | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | harisund: acroread is from Adobe, not macromedia | 14:32 |
| w0ls0n | oh duh | 14:33 |
| harisund | ActionParsnip, That I know. You said "no it shouldn't as neither of those contain acro" so I said they do contrain acro from Macromedia | 14:33 |

| harisund | indus is there a package of that name? | 14:38 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: it just occured to me, sometimes when i am watching a movie or an avi video, i turn compiz off, how would i go about doing that? | 14:38 |
| jrib | amnesia: foo and bar are just used as generic names for variables, like "x" and "y" in math | 14:38 |
| indus | harisund: well, its now called adobe reader | 14:38 |
| amnesia | ahh okay | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: could make a script to turn off compiz and run the program then start compiz up when its done | 14:39 |
| amnesia | so basically you're sayin I am not in "some file"? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: that sort of messing around is 1 reason why i detest compiz | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: its just not worth it | 14:39 |
| indus | harisund: cant you find it from synaptic? | 14:39 |
| zebastian | ActionParsnip: but to do it manually | 14:40 |
| zebastian | how would i go about it | 14:40 |
| jrib | amnesia: when I said foo/bar I could have said Desktop/ateam-movie or jrib/Desktop or any other directory with something inside of it. I was just trying to be generic | 14:40 |
| harisund | indus there is "adobe reader" yes but no mozilla plugin | 14:40 |
| amnesia | ahh okay sorry | 14:40 |
| indus | harisund: hmm mozilla plugin for what | 14:40 |
| harisund | For the adobe reader | 14:40 |
| amnesia | so the permissions for removing are arranged differently? | 14:41 |
| indus | harisund: to do what | 14:41 |
| mgv1 | hello, i want to ask. why don't they do some installations in ubuntu more simple? like the tor installation which i havn't succeed with | 14:41 |

| harisund | indus to see PDFs within my browser | 14:41 |

| zebastian | ActionParsnip: the what? | 14:42 |
| Nophiq | Hi all, How can I avoid backup files like "myfile.txt~"? | 14:42 |

| harisund | indus yes that takes me to Adobes' website directly .. | 14:42 |
| Halitech | Total_Oblivion, use your windows install cd to repair the MBR then format the ubuntu partitions using windows | 14:42 |

| indus | harisund: strange | 14:43 |
| cursive | after a fresh install of ubuntu, how do I get computer, documents, trash etc. icons on my desktop? | 14:43 |
| harisund | indus I guess i will have to try that. It's just that I am afraid to download anything from the web and install it myself (like I do in Windows) since then if I ask for any support on the forums or IRC I am simply yelled at for not using the repositoies | 14:43 |
| indus | harisund: wait 2 sec | 14:43 |
| jrib | amnesia: and as you notice, write permissions for a directory determine whether a file can be removed and/or renamed | 14:43 |
| indus | harisund: ya that reader is what you looking for i believe | 14:43 |
| cursive | just moved from ubuntu from vista :3 | 14:43 |
| amnesia | jrib: but remove doesnt fall under read,write,execure right? | 14:43 |
| thiebaude | SharpRain, i use it | 14:43 |
| jrib | amnesia: it falls under "write for parent directory" | 14:43 |
| harisund | indus It's as though if I don't use the repositories for something I am voiding my Ubuntu warranty haha ..ok I will try it the manual way | 14:43 |
| indus | harisund: it then integrates with browser too so u can view pdf | 14:43 |
| amnesia | hm okay | 14:43 |
| harisund | indus All right will give it a try | 14:44 |
| indus | harisund: wait | 14:44 |
| indus | harisund: download from ubuntu repo enable the partner repository | 14:44 |

| thiebaude | cursive, what is your question? | 14:45 |
| jrib | amnesia: if you're interested in this sort of stuff, you may be interested in learning more about how the filesystem works. Look up what inodes work. I think that will also give you a better understanding for your current question | 14:45 |
| cursive | after a fresh install of ubuntu, how do I get computer, documents, trash etc. icons on my desktop? | 14:45 |

| mpedraza | hellooooooooooooooooooooooo | 14:45 |

| zebastian | and now i have no top bars | 14:47 |

| genii | noelferreira: file <filename> gives some info | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | zebastian: alt+f2, openbox --replace | 14:47 |
| indus | harisund: no that install does it | 14:47 |

| mgv1 | i want to ask. why don't they do some installations in ubuntu more simple? like the tor installation which i havn't succeed with | 15:01 |
| noelferreira | genii, i am using a server where i am not adminsitrator and i can't installl convmv: is there any other option. i just need the correct file encoding listed. the i use iconv | 15:01 |
| mgv1 | why does my toolbar bookmarks dissapeard? | 15:02 |
| chingus | Okay I suppose I should reestablish my problem I can't activate desktop effects as drivers are not found for graphics card Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02 I tried whats on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 but it made my comp crashed. How can I activate them? | 15:02 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, you used wubi to install? | 15:02 |
| thiebaude | chingus, you might not be able to | 15:02 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech yes | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mgv1: they are simple, you cant even chosse defaults apps its that simple | 15:02 |
| chingus | Absolutely nothing I can do thiebaude? | 15:03 |
| genii | noelferreira: Does output of: iconv -l show 8859 as a type it knows about? | 15:03 |
| loneone | can anyone help me about huawei 3g modem usb stick I cant install it properly pm me pls | 15:03 |
| thiebaude | chingus, im not sure, but i had to edit my xorg.conf to fix my problem | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | loneone: run: lsusb you will get an 8 character hex code, websearch it and you will find guides | 15:03 |
| chingus | How did you do it? | 15:04 |
| thiebaude | chingus, does your X freeze? | 15:04 |
| chingus | nope | 15:04 |
| thiebaude | ok | 15:04 |
| loneone | ok I try it now | 15:04 |
| chingus | Everything works fine but when I try to make it flashy no drivers are found | 15:04 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, ok, no way of resizing without reinstalling, you'll need to start looking at whats installed and removing some things | 15:04 |
| mehedi | why ubuntu can not play any media without installing media plug in? | 15:05 |
| dragonrigs | oh no | 15:05 |
| Halitech | chingus, if its not a laptop, buy a new card | 15:05 |
| mgv1 | <ActionParsnip>: tor wasn't installed currectly for me and the intel graaphic driver is too problematic and not for begginer | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: windows is the same | 15:05 |
| chingus | can't afford one lol | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: no OS can play media without codecs | 15:05 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech there is no other way but using wubi to reinstall | 15:05 |
| dragonrigs | <:_( | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mgv1: intel drivers are easy. I have a guide | 15:05 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, you can do a real install install of the quasi install that wubi is | 15:05 |
| noelferreira | genii, iconv -l <filename> gives me all the types available. how can i get the one the file is using? | 15:05 |
| loneone | I have another problem about this modem there is a program run in windows need to connect usb stick and mobile company to connect me to internet | 15:05 |
| cornet | mehedi: the *real* answer is due to license restrictions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 15:06 |
| Halitech | chingus, anything used would still be better then the onboard intel chip | 15:06 |
| mehedi | its impossile to run ubuntu without interner connection | 15:06 |
| thiebaude | ActionParsnip, any day im ready to put 9.10 on my system | 15:06 |
| chingus | really, is it that bad? | 15:06 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech what? | 15:06 |
| Halitech | mehedi, no its not, just harder | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mgv1: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/reverting-xorg-video-intel-driver-of.html | 15:06 |
| chingus | thiebaude anythink with the xorg.conf idea? | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mgv1: you do realise nearly ALL netbooks use crappy intel chips so there are billions of guides on how to set them up | 15:06 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, wubi "installs" ubuntu into a file inside windows, if windows goes boom, so does ubuntu | 15:06 |
| thiebaude | chingus, i can give you what i use, but i will say use at your risk in case it dont work for you | 15:07 |
| chingus | k, | 15:07 |
| thiebaude | 1 sec | 15:07 |
| chingus | I have backup of xorg.conf | 15:07 |
| arvind_khadri | !pppconfig > arvind_khadri | 15:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pppconfig | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: sure, you can run any installed OS with a web connection | 15:07 |
| chingus | thanks | 15:07 |
| thiebaude | chingus, open a terminal | 15:07 |
| thiebaude | np | 15:07 |
| dragonrigs | so your saying that my windows just went boom Halitech | 15:07 |
| mehedi | in windows there is no need for downloading any media plug in.but why it is in ubuntu? | 15:08 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, no, just saying *IF* windows goes boom then so does Ubuntu | 15:08 |
| chingus | k terminal open | 15:08 |
| thiebaude | chingus, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:08 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech so... how do i fix my problem | 15:08 |
| chingus | k | 15:08 |
| dragonrigs | helo my ubuntu has some problems latly i had an update and it needed 157mb and in my disk there is 215 gb and the error mesage told me to do sudo apt-get clean now whenever i go to the applications button. nothing apears but it gets highlighted | 15:08 |
| mgv1 | <ActionParsnip>: so maybe i need to find a time to install them. but until now i didn't and i don't know how to do it right anyway | 15:08 |
| Halitech | mehedi, windows still needs to download codecs, just has some base ones installed by default | 15:08 |
| genii | noelferreira: Sometimes: file -i <filename> will give more specific info, but not guaranteed | 15:08 |
| jully | http://earthdancemelbourne.org/ | 15:09 |
| thiebaude | chingus, ok, under the video section | 15:09 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, I told you, you need to clear space out or reinstall with a true install instead of using wubi | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mgv1: thats wat the internet is for | 15:09 |
| chingus | There is no video section | 15:09 |
| noelferreira | genii, :( text/plain; charset=unknown | 15:09 |
| thiebaude | chingus, display | 15:09 |
| chingus | There is only device monitor and screen | 15:09 |
| thiebaude | chingus, i wish i could see how your xorg.conf looks like | 15:10 |
| mehedi | what is the main benefit of ubuntu? | 15:10 |
| chingus | I'll show you | 15:10 |
| Halitech | mehedi, do a fresh install using an install cd and not a restore cd and see what works out of the box | 15:10 |
| thiebaude | thanks alot | 15:10 |

| mgv1 | <ActionParsnip>: i can't easily understand how to perform the many ideas in guides | 15:10 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech so i remove windows COMPLETLY but what happens if the real install doesnt work | 15:10 |
| genii | noelferreira: It's apparently an unknown character set then | 15:10 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech how do i exit from ubuntu live cd | 15:11 |
| thiebaude | chingus, right under configured video device | 15:11 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, you don't need to remove windows completely, you can dual boot | 15:11 |
| chingus | I am sorry | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mgv1: most are step by step, like taht one i gave | 15:11 |
| chingus | didn't know about flooding | 15:11 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, shut down and reboot | 15:11 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech thats how it gets hard | 15:11 |
| chingus | yes thiebaude | 15:11 |
| mehedi | what is the main benefit of ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| mehedi | what is the main benefit of ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech so no need for reinsyall | 15:11 |

| _ikke_ | is it a big problem if a system upgrade in ubuntu was aborted? | 15:12 |
| dragonrigs | ill do the real install | 15:12 |
| thiebaude | chingus, add this Option "DRI" "off" | 15:12 |
| mehedi | over windows | 15:12 |
| Halitech | mehedi, its free, no viruses, support is free and alot better then MS | 15:12 |
| chingus | k added | 15:12 |
| thiebaude | chingus, and save it | 15:12 |
| chingus | k done | 15:12 |
| thiebaude | chingus, ok, now just re-boot completely | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mehedi: its a bit oftopic here | 15:13 |
| thiebaude | hope it works | 15:13 |
| mgv1 | <ActionParsnip>: yes but when i've tried many guides i didn't knew what to do. why it's not simple to just make installtions? | 15:13 |
| IdleOne | thiebaude: DRI is disabled by default in jaunty due to the known intel regression | 15:13 |
| chingus | After I reboot, should I activate the desktop effects? | 15:13 |
| dragonrigs | Halitech IF a defect is found while on live cd what will i do | 15:13 |
| tavelram | (on a single-user system running blackbox) any suggestions on something more lightweight than gdm? xdm? quingy? how stable is quingy? | 15:13 |

| com-8 | cwo_bug1L | 15:14 |
| elops | a mount keeps being added to my mtab file, any idea why this might be? i may have added something somewhere a while back that did this, but i cant remember where... it is not in fstab | 15:14 |
| IdleOne | thiebaude: ok just saying | 15:14 |
| Halitech | dragonrigs, what do you mean? | 15:14 |
| chingus | thiebaude, once i reboot should that be it? | 15:14 |
| thiebaude | IdleOne, if i dont add "DRI" then x will freeze | 15:14 |

| thiebaude | and if it dont work, i tried | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mgv1: because not all systems are identical so you need to work a bit yourself | 15:14 |
| dpreacher | ActionParsnip hello after long time | 15:15 |
| genii | noelferreira: If exact coding IS known, with iconv the syntax is like: iconf -f ISO_8859-1 -t UTF-8 <filename> | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dpreacher: howdy | 15:15 |

| ActionParsnip | dpreacher: not too shabby at all :) | 15:15 |
| mehedi | ubuntu has a huge problem. once the screen resolution is being changed,it can not be readjusted without setup!! | 15:16 |
| mgv1 | <ActionParsnip>: funny. what do you mean by systems? like jaunty or something like that? why there isn't transsystem installations? | 15:16 |
| IdleOne | mehedi: do you need any help with ubuntu? | 15:16 |
| mehedi | ya | 15:16 |
| elops | So? | 15:16 |
| IdleOne | mehedi: ask a question | 15:16 |
| Halitech | mehedi, I can change mine easily without rerunning the setup | 15:16 |
| dpreacher | can someone suggest how to instruct pppd to log to separate files per pppoe connection (we have 2 isp lines coming in, and ubuntu has load balancing the 2 connections) using syslog? | 15:17 |

| kudi1 | thanks | 15:22 |
| librenes | dpreacher-> just an idea, if you are familiar with iptables, you can mark and direct the log per interface basis.. | 15:25 |
| demonspork | is it still better to install the nvidia drivers directly from nvidia or is the driver from the repository adequate | 15:25 |
| boscop | I already set opera as my default browser on ubuntu (for speed reasons) but when I double click on a html file in nautilus, it still opens it with firefox. why? | 15:25 |
| thiebaude | demonspork, repository | 15:25 |
| demonspork | boscop, and html file is considered "the internet" when you set opera to be the default browser, it is just set to handle things like http://www.google.com and such | 15:26 |
| dpreacher | librenes, currently loadbalancing using shorewall which uses iptables basically. but you're saying that iptables would be logging instead of pppd? i know which interface is for which isp line... | 15:26 |
| demonspork | boscop, you have to associate the html file with opera separately | 15:26 |
| boscop | demonspork, each single hmtl file?? | 15:26 |
| demonspork | boscop, no | 15:26 |
| th3seaw0lf | hi | 15:27 |
| th3seaw0lf | I have a dell optiplex gx 240, with AD1885 Integrated Audio. i installed ubuntu 9.04 and im not getting any sound. neither from my speakers nor from my pc speakers, need help please. | 15:27 |
| demonspork | boscop, just the .html extension isn't associated, because setting a default browser just associates URL handle with a particular browser | 15:27 |
| librenes | dpreacher-> yes, there are hooks within netfilter aka iptables to allow you to mark a packet based on which interface it goes in/out then your rules will log them | 15:27 |
| demonspork | boscop, but since a .html file isn't a URL, then it is still set top open with firefox | 15:27 |
| dpreacher | librenes, thanks for the awesome tip. I'll sit with my colleague who has worked on the shorewall setup and get it done. | 15:28 |
| boscop | demonspork, ok thx | 15:28 |
| th3seaw0lf | I have a dell optiplex gx 240, with AD1885 Integrated Audio. i installed ubuntu 9.04 and im not getting any sound. neither from my speakers nor from my pc speakers, need help please. can somebody help me please? | 15:29 |
| librenes | dpreacher-> perhaps you and your friend can write some tutorials on how you got it accomplished? i cant do it myself as i never had two isp providers | 15:29 |
| thiebaude | chingus, did it work? | 15:29 |
| boscop | demonspork, and how do I make apps like vlc show up in opening dialogs? | 15:29 |
| chingus | no :( | 15:29 |
| thiebaude | ahh man | 15:29 |
| chingus | but it sped up my computer by a lot | 15:29 |
| boscop | demonspork, for example opening a stream in opera | 15:30 |
| chingus | Amazing I was aiming for the effects but this is actually better... | 15:30 |
| thiebaude | chingus, you trying to compiz? | 15:30 |
| chingus | But still any more tips? | 15:30 |
| dpreacher | librenes i see. that'll be some task to achieve then. i'll post my notes somewhere public | 15:30 |
| thiebaude | use | 15:30 |
| chingus | I tried Compiz but no help. | 15:30 |
| thiebaude | chingus, i cant use compiz either | 15:31 |
| chingus | The desktop thing just doesn't work | 15:31 |
| chingus | hmmm... | 15:31 |
| ccole1 | good day, using 8.10 as a file server i wrote a shell script to backup the users home directories, i set it as a cron job but it only backs up some users not all, when i run the script manually it works as intended. what could be wrong | 15:31 |
| chingus | I might actually go with the other person's suggestion, and get a new graphics card | 15:31 |
| chingus | WEll thanks thiebaude. | 15:31 |
| thiebaude | chingus, just remember that xorg.conf thing i did | 15:31 |
| thiebaude | np | 15:31 |
| librenes | dpreacher yes, its not quite easily done. here is one link that may help http://www.shorewall.net/traffic_shaping.htm | 15:31 |
| chingus | Pity the desktop couldn't work but my comps lighting fast now. | 15:31 |
| thiebaude | chingus, write it down | 15:32 |
| chingus | What did that function do? | 15:32 |
| chingus | Write what down? | 15:32 |
| thiebaude | chingus, yep | 15:32 |
| Pavlz | end of draft for 802.11n after 7 years :-) | 15:32 |
| chingus | Oh kk | 15:32 |
| chingus | Yea... | 15:32 |
| dpreacher | librenes i agree no less, my friend's i'd admit the more smarter and persistent one, who got the loadbalancing done after some months without a custom kernel or anything | 15:33 |
| tuxxie | ccole1: output the script to a log file. | 15:33 |
| chingus | Its saved in and all now, and made back up of that on more than just root... | 15:33 |
| mgv1 | do you maybe know why so many times it takes loads of time to find the right wireless network wireless network while some time it doesn't find it at all? | 15:33 |
| thiebaude | chingus, cool | 15:33 |
| ccole1 | i did it gives no errors | 15:33 |
| chingus | well anyway g2g thanks thiebaude | 15:33 |
| chingus | exit. | 15:33 |
| thiebaude | chingus, no problem, glad that worked | 15:33 |
| tuxxie | even when it does not work? | 15:33 |
| librenes | dpreacher i dont think it requires a special kernel, more of a module within netfilter | 15:34 |
| ccole1 | yeah | 15:34 |
| tuxxie | use rm -v | 15:34 |
| dpreacher | oh librenes...i was referring to the load balancing part | 15:34 |
| dpreacher | which also can be done with or without custom kernel | 15:34 |
| lotia | hello all. are there any sources from where i can install newer kernels onto jaunty | 15:34 |
| ccole1 | rm -v explain please | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | lotia: check the PPA repositories perhaps. | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa | 15:35 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 15:35 |
| tuxxie | ccole1: man rm | 15:35 |
| tuxxie | you are using rm to delete the files correct? | 15:36 |
| tuxxie | !man | 15:36 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 15:36 |

| Halitech | th3seaw0lf, then its probably an isa based card which means getting a PCI sound card would be easier | 15:40 |
| arvind_khadri | solos_revenge, its nasm in linux | 15:40 |
| ccole1 | i put it as a cron job sudo crontab -e | 15:40 |
| solos_revenge | yes but im talking about masm | 15:40 |
| ccole1 | of the 8 directories it copies 2 when run as a cron | 15:41 |
| th3seaw0lf | Halitech, now soundcard then? ok :/ | 15:41 |

| grawity | th3seaw0lf: Make a shell script | 15:42 |
| th3seaw0lf | grawity, i dont know how to | 15:43 |

| tuxxie | ccole1: your command looks like #tar cvfz tar.tar /home/ | 15:43 |
| grawity | th3seaw0lf: 1) Open a text editor. 2) Type #!/bin/bash as the first line. 3) Type the rest of your commands. 4) Save. 5) In terminal, chmod +x yourscript. | 15:43 |
| th3seaw0lf | ok, thanks grawity | 15:43 |

| ccole1 | yeah, i'm just paranoid about backups so i do a piece at a time and test each part | 15:44 |
| brot_ | i have a stack of modules in order auth required pam_env,auth required pam_tally,auth sufficient pam_unix.so ... this is effectively rendering my authentication useless ... | 15:45 |
| brot_ | i want to know why | 15:45 |
| brot_ | can anyone help? | 15:45 |
| lars2 | !help > lars2 | 15:46 |
| ubottu | lars2, please see my private message | 15:46 |
| brot_ | if i change pam_unix.so back to "required" ... everything is working ok | 15:46 |
| tuxxie | ccole1: please pastin your script so i can look at it. | 15:47 |
| jiohdi | why do some programs run by name and others require ./ to run them? | 15:47 |
| brot_ | jiohdi: if they are in the PATH you dont need the ./ | 15:48 |
| ccole1 | pasted | 15:48 |
| tuxxie | jiohdi: some are in your path. | 15:48 |
| grawity | jiohdi: There's an environment variable $PATH that contains a list of directories where to search for programs if you don't specify a path. | 15:48 |
| brot_ | jiohdi: otherwise you will need the ./ | 15:48 |
| tuxxie | where is the link? | 15:48 |
| grawity | jiohdi: For example, 'ls' is in /bin, and /bin is in $PATH, so you only type 'ls' | 15:48 |
| jiohdi | grawity: in what path? | 15:48 |
| grawity | jiohdi: echo "$PATH" | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !path | 15:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about path | 15:49 |
| brot_ | jiohdi: try e.g. "which echo" and then "echo ${PATH}" | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jiohdi: your 'current' directory is normally not on your PATH unlike windows where it normally IS searched first. | 15:50 |
| brot_ | jiohdi: you will find /bin in the list of directories | 15:50 |
| jiohdi | I get you... mostly bin folders | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Bash Basics :) | 15:50 |
| grawity | grawity@insanity ~/Projects$ echo $PATH | 15:50 |
| grawity | ~/.bin:~/.local/bin:~/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games | 15:50 |
| grawity | jiohdi: And if you want to run a program that is not in $PATH, you need to specify the full path. | 15:50 |
| jiohdi | or be in that directory | 15:51 |
| _ikke_ | Dr_Willis: Thats the most satisfying answer | 15:51 |
| ccole1 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/271497/ | 15:51 |
| grawity | jiohdi: No, the current directory is never in $PATH by default. | 15:51 |
| grawity | jiohdi: ./someprogram means "run someprogram from the current directory" | 15:51 |
| jiohdi | I meant in the directory of the program | 15:51 |
| grawity | If you're in the directory of the program, you _still_ need to specify the full path to the program. | 15:52 |
| brot_ | anyone knows about some detailed PAM documentation? | 15:52 |
| monne | When I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 from live pendrive, its giving unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda FATAL ERROR | 15:52 |
| monne | I tried other partitions, same error | 15:52 |
| jiohdi | grawity... I just did ./uninstall from within the google-earth dir and did not need to specify anything more | 15:52 |
| grawity | jiohdi: But you did specify the path - by using ./ | 15:52 |
| grawity | jiohdi: "." means the current directory, and ./uninstall means a file "uninstall" in the current directory. | 15:53 |
| jiohdi | ah I c | 15:53 |

| ndrwc | alright, reading the backports info is rather confusing... if a package exists in jaunty and a fix will be released in karmic, does that mean that the relevant fix should appear in backports or updates? how do I request <whatever> needs to happen? | 16:38 |

| nameless| | geirha: it is PS2. It works fine before it gets to the actual install part | 17:03 |
| mgmuscari | geekaia: run synaptic and search for opengl, make sure you don't have any third-party packages selected, and if you do, do a remove completely on them. then try your driver install again | 17:03 |
| ndrwc | hrm, I find it hard to remember things this early | 17:03 |

| geirha | nameless|: Hm. ps2 keyboards are "rock solid" in linux by my experience, so maybe it's not the keyboard after all, but a kernel freeze. Might be you need to supply some boot options. Not sure where to begin though | 17:04 |

| mgmuscari | adalal: i think these are OSS fleas. maybe the girl installed them in the house through an unauthenticated apt repository | 17:06 |
| Beefcaked | its weird because i had the idea that ubuntu would be less intensive on the system and therefore outlast vista in power savings | 17:06 |

| Vinceman | how do you activate xine in mozilla firefox? | 17:12 |
| mgmuscari | cheftux: why are you trying to use itunes with ubuntu? are you running it through wine or something? | 17:12 |

| cheftux | i have an iphone and i need to sync with itunes, unless you know another way | 17:12 |
| mgmuscari | looks kind of like 'uu b unn tu' | 17:12 |
| jshultz | i wouldn't play music from itunes via VB. | 17:13 |
| Lartza_ | jshultz: FOr what? | 17:13 |
| jshultz | use banshee isntead | 17:13 |
| LouisT | ndrwc: the thing is, it worked when i used ubuntu 8.04, but then i upgraded to 8.10 and then it started doing that, so i installed the newest drivers from nvidia using the .run they have, and it made it start using the failsafe, so then i downloaded and burned a copy of ubuntu 9.04 and installed it, and then it said to install the nvidia drivers using the "Hardware Drivers" program, i did that and it started doing the line thing again.. | 17:13 |
| geirha | nameless|: Ok, so it's unable to find a driver for your network card then. Do you know what network card(s) it has? | 17:13 |
| Lartza_ | mgmuscari: Hmmm... | 17:13 |
| mgmuscari | cheftux, there's some rudimentary support in other packages i believe... although i never sync my iphone period because i have it jailbroken :p | 17:13 |
| ndrwc | LouisT: uhh.... | 17:13 |
| Lartza_ | mgmuscari: Jaunty I assume? | 17:13 |
| cheftux | if i use banshee will it sync my iphone like in tunes and i really don't want to jailbreak my phone | 17:13 |
| jshultz | no | 17:13 |

| hrab | Is there a way to turn off the xxxx has joined/left notifications in Konversation? | 17:14 |
| ndrwc | ok, if anyone can tell me how to work out what version of the nvidia drivers i have via cli.. | 17:14 |
| cheftux | see the whole point of itunes is getting my music off my old account and transfering it onto the new computer | 17:14 |
| mgmuscari | cheftux: you don't have to jailbreak it, i'm just saying that i don't bother using any sync features that can't be done OTA | 17:14 |
| icarus | so i just deleted a lot of files how do i get them back? | 17:14 |
| mgmuscari | cheftux: i hope that the music isn't music you bought through the itunes store... DRM sucks | 17:14 |
| jshultz | here's what i did, and it's a crappy solution. my music is hosted locally. i have a vm with a stripped down winxp that i use for itunes and adobe cs4. itunes runs like crap in a vm though for some reason. but anyway, it pulls the music via a shared folder through vb. it syncs with with my ipod that way. | 17:15 |
| ndrwc | hrm | 17:15 |
| Lartza_ | mgmuscari: You can buy them DRM free though | 17:15 |
| Lartza_ | idjc | 17:15 |
| mgmuscari | icarus: check your trash... | 17:15 |
| Lartza_ | Woops | 17:15 |
| jshultz | i have the 3.1 firmware which apparently hasnt' been jailbroken yet. | 17:15 |
| cheftux | lol least it works though | 17:15 |

| ndrwc | LouisT: I think I've just been able to put them in via the restricted hardware drivers app | 17:16 |
| icarus | mgmuscari, i wish it was that simple but the files are not there due to the files being on a portable device when they were deleted | 17:16 |
| mgmuscari | that's a step in the right direction | 17:16 |
| mgmuscari | icarus: check the trash on the device. depends on the filesystem of the device | 17:17 |
| mgmuscari | you could unmount it | 17:17 |
| nameless| | geirha: MSI MS-7093 | 17:17 |
| Lartza_ | icarus: YOu mgiht not get them back | 17:17 |
| mgmuscari | then mount it as read only. that way you won't risk overwriting things that are still there | 17:17 |
| LouisT | ndrwc: when i go into that, it says i have 180, it's acivated, and currently in use... | 17:17 |
| ndrwc | LouisT: it's difficult to track down the problem unless you can find someone who's had the same symptoms and described in a way you're searching for | 17:18 |
| icarus | i cant find the trash folder | 17:18 |
| LouisT | yea, i've asked others that i know about it, but they have no idea =/ | 17:18 |

| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, yes | 17:20 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: and you don't have any trouble running both of those kernel modules? | 17:20 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, I'm asking if its possible, i havent bought the 2nd card yet | 17:20 |
| LouisT | i assume the motherboard, on the from of the tower it says it has a PCI expansion slot however | 17:21 |
| Sp0tter | thinking of getting this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121320 | 17:21 |
| icarus | so how do i recover my files? | 17:21 |
| Sp0tter | I just wish I knew if you could use the hdmi and dvi out at the same tiem on that one | 17:21 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: i myself would never even attempt to run such a setup, considering how hard it is to even get fglrx working correctly... | 17:21 |
| keith_hanson | hm... any macbook users here? I'm using the AwesomeWM, and can't seem to get my audio to work. | 17:21 |
| n-iCe | i want to make my external vga port a separate tty on my laptop and redirect xbmc | 17:21 |
| mgmuscari | why would you buy a second graphics card from a different vendor? | 17:21 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, It's not hard at all to get fglrx working.. | 17:21 |
| n-iCe | i'm not sure how to make the external port a separate tty, or how to redirect xbmc's output | 17:21 |
| n-iCe | xbmc: rtfm | 17:21 |
| n-iCe | tty: googled, no luck | 17:21 |
| ndrwc | LouisT: ok, might be best to do some more searching for "nividia", "linux", "6100", and your motherboard :( | 17:21 |
| FloodBot2 | n-iCe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:21 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, because nvidia cards support CUDA | 17:21 |
| Grenage | fglrx is incredibly tempremental. | 17:22 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: depends on what your graphics chipset is... takes some finagling to get things running correctly on my laptop, for example | 17:22 |
| ndrwc | keith_hanson: which revision? | 17:22 |
| Sp0tter | fglrx works fine for me, but with my motherboard you can only use dvi OR hdmi out, and I need dual digital outputs | 17:22 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: so why don't you ditch the ati card? | 17:22 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, its onboard.. and free to use | 17:22 |
| mgmuscari | disable it and buy a card with two dvi ports | 17:23 |
| Grenage | Dual port Nvidia not an option? | 17:23 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, you are not helpful at all :) | 17:23 |
| gladiator | moncky, eni23: i removed everything named mysql and reinstalled both server and client | 17:23 |

| gladiator | still the same problem | 17:23 |
| Grenage | Ah I see | 17:23 |

| demonspork | none of the icon sets I am installing seem to work, the icons changed, but they stay the same change (a theme I didn't install) no matter what set I install | 17:24 |
| aaron11 | helo i have ubuntu jaunty and my applications menu is compleetly wipped out my updates didnt have enough space so it said to run sudo apt-get clear or clean please do help me do i need to not use wubi is there a simpler way? please do help me! | 17:24 |

| MFen | how do i make gaim use ff3.5 when i click a link? | 17:25 |
| MFen | i have both 3.0 and 3.5 installed, and i want to use only 3.5 | 17:25 |
| ndrwc | keith_hanson: only stuff i can find on a macbook 1,1 is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook1-1/Hardy sorry :( have you had sound working in other WMs/releases? | 17:25 |
| Grenage | I see, is it a poor refresh rate? | 17:25 |
| VCoolio | MFen: do you have 3.5 as default browser? or does gaim have prefs for that? | 17:26 |
| mgmuscari | i would use the word pedantic, but that would be the pot calling the kettle black in my case, so i'll just capitulate and say that i really don't know whether you could make that work. my educated guess would be, "no," and i wouldn't purchase a piece of hardware and try to make it work | 17:26 |
| Sp0tter | nah, then analog out just has ghosting and you have to hit the AUTO focus button everyrime you turn it on (or siwtch the kvm) | 17:26 |
| MFen | VCoolio: i don't even know what "default browser" means in gnome. if gaim has prefs for it, then that's what i'd like to find out about | 17:26 |
| Sp0tter | the newer cheap lcd monitors don't do well with analog above 19" | 17:26 |
| mgmuscari | i mean, it may be possible, but it probably depends on the exact chipsets of each card, and which driver module you use... you might do better with the open source ati drivers than with fglrx | 17:26 |
| VCoolio | MFen: in system>preferences>preferred applications you can set your default browser | 17:27 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, the open source one radeonhd is incredibly slower than fglrx | 17:27 |
| MFen | aha, preferred applications (accessible through gaim > preferences > network) | 17:27 |
| Grenage | Gotcha, I would throw wy work ATI into the Nvidia and test it for you, but I wouldn't get a chance until next week. | 17:27 |
| keith_hanson | ndrwc: Yes. Gnome seems to have the sound working, though I'm somewhat newbish and can't figure out what is starting up so that I can setup the same things in Awesome | 17:27 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: are you planning to use this for 3d applications? | 17:27 |
| keith_hanson | ndrwc: Thanks btw :) | 17:27 |
| Pici | aaron11: What do you mean by 'wipped out'? Can you explain it in other words? | 17:27 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, yes | 17:27 |
| ndrwc | well, I will continue stumbling through launchpad until I get emails etc. informing me how to do things properly :P | 17:27 |
| MFen | yep, that worked | 17:27 |
| MFen | thanks :) | 17:27 |
| younder | There is a Crome development version out for ubuntu | 17:28 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: don't you think that running both the nvidia and ati kernel modules concurrently, and moreover trying to get them to communicate in some way will incur massive overhead? | 17:28 |
| ndrwc | aaron11: you could try wiping your panels.... | 17:28 |
| === [Sp00ky] is now known as [Spooky] | ||
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, no | 17:28 |

| mgmuscari | sp0tter: why not? | 17:28 |
| aaron11 | Pici it shows nothing no 'accsesories' no 'programming' like that | 17:28 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, why would it? | 17:28 |
| aaron11 | ndrwc what do you mean | 17:28 |
| Pici | aaron11: Do you have any panels? Do you see Applications, Places and System at the top left at all? | 17:29 |
| ndrwc | aaron11: how about right-click and edit menus? otherwise delete your panels preferences | 17:29 |
| mgmuscari | it strikes me that you probably won't be able to reach the level of customization that it would take to avoid any kinds of collisions, especially in terms of memory addressing and other low level stuff | 17:29 |
| Grenage | If the screens are independant, it 'should' be ok. | 17:29 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, that makes zero sense :) memory addressing has nothing to do with ati vs nvidia | 17:29 |
| aaron11 | Pici yes | 17:29 |
| mgmuscari | memory addressing has everything to do with where data goes when it's trying to go to the cards... | 17:29 |
| aaron11 | Pici but if you click applications nothing comes | 17:30 |
| Sp0tter | Grenage, from what I understand the screens are independent but xrandr connects them on a virtual screen | 17:30 |
| LouisT | oh, he left.. | 17:30 |
| aaron11 | Pici if you click places or system it works | 17:30 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, I'm sorry but I disagree with you completly. Yuo are making vague irrelivant statements my friend. | 17:30 |
| Grenage | mm then it would be a suck it and see, there may be some overhead. | 17:30 |
| mgmuscari | i mean, one fundamental issue that i can think of right off the bat is that they'll compete for other libraries like opengl and stuff | 17:30 |
| ndrwc | Sp0tter: the question is can the bios allocate memory for both cards | 17:30 |
| Pici | aaron11: Can you open a terminal and run: update-menus | 17:31 |
| ndrwc | does it work in <some other OS>? | 17:31 |
| Grenage | the BIOS can no worries. | 17:31 |
| Sp0tter | ndrwc, of course it can... | 17:31 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: why would one assume that "of course" it can? | 17:31 |

| aaron11 | Pici it didnt wrk | 17:32 |
| syslq | amd_x64? Will it work on intels? I dont see any other x64 download | 17:33 |

| mgmuscari | ndrwc: that's another good point | 17:34 |
| Pici | aaron11: Can you run: alacarte and see if there is anything available to be checked for the applications menu? | 17:34 |
| aaron11 | Pici do u run that in a terminal | 17:34 |
| ndrwc | Sp0tter: I think your best chance of getting anywhere is to start with one card, get it working, and try adding the second | 17:34 |

| mgmuscari | and understandably doesn't want to blow $55 to find out that it doesn't work | 17:35 |
| Sp0tter | Loader sure. Copy your /boot/grub/menu.lst file down and then install fedora on a new partition, and then added the entries to the new menu.lst from the old one | 17:36 |
| librenes | Loder333-> on top as you mean a virtual guest running on fedora or windows? | 17:36 |
| ndrwc | mgmuscari: ahh ok, so the hardware hasn't been purchased yet... Sp0tter be prepared to buy a new system for your CUDA card if it doesn't work :P | 17:36 |
| Loder3331 | sorry I meant triple boot | 17:36 |
| Sp0tter | ndrwc, well I have another nvidia card here I can test with, I guess thats what I need to do | 17:36 |

| Loder3331 | the layout of my drive is like this: Vista-free space-ubuntu partitions-windows recovery partition | 17:39 |
| dragonrigs | Pici i ran sudo apt-get clean or clear | 17:40 |
| mgmuscari | sp0tter: i think that would probably depend on the specific chipset... afaik hdmi and dvi use the same encoding, but whether the card allows two streams to be written out simultaneously on different interfaces i don't know | 17:40 |
| Pici | dragonrigs: Anything before that? | 17:40 |
| Sp0tter | mgmuscari, yea its not available from nvidia or asus unfortunatly to tell me if it allows it | 17:40 |
| dragonrigs | mmm no | 17:40 |

| Pici | cronoss: ctrl-alt-super isn't a key combination that I'ev ever heard of, do you mean ctrl-alt-delete or ctrl-alt-backspace ? | 17:41 |
| harisund | man Ubuntu is like some Apple among Linuxes. Anybody know what exactly it does? | 17:41 |
| mgmuscari | super is the windows key | 17:41 |

| joeb3_ | demonspork, alt f2 | 17:41 |

| cronoss | Pici, yes i mean ctrl-alt-del sorry :) | 17:42 |
| Qu4R0w | ruby_on_tails: what u run on? | 17:42 |
| Loder3331 | That's what I'm using I think, I burned the iso to a dvd | 17:42 |
| Pici | !dontzap | cronoss | 17:42 |
| ubottu | cronoss: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. | 17:42 |

| mgmuscari | cocoa117: alternatively, you could modify file permissions to allow them to view, modify, and/or execute the contents of the file | 17:52 |
| cocoa117 | mgmuscari, but never mind, i think i just chown so others can do it | 17:52 |

| mgmuscari | never realized that would work in pidgin... | 17:57 |
| ndrwc | ubuntu: in a terminal, "dmesg | grep SCSI" | 17:58 |
| Loder3331 | I was trying to use the fedora livecd (dvd) to install fedora into some unpartitioned space that I freed up for it | 17:58 |
| MenZa | mgmuscari: I didn't know it did. I'm happy the developers put it in, though. | 17:58 |
| Loder3331 | and it wouldn't let me | 17:58 |
| mgmuscari | MenZa: that certainly makes it easier... | 17:58 |
| Loder3331 | mgmuscari: I'll have to go save the file first | 17:58 |
| Loder3331 | Is it possible that the arrangement of my partitions could prevent fedora from installing? | 17:58 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: have you tried booting from the cd (not into ubuntu or windows) and installing from there? | 17:59 |
| Loder3331 | That's all I ever tried | 17:59 |
| ndrwc | Loder3331: I think at this point try #fedora :/ | 17:59 |
| Loder3331 | I'm using the dvd | 17:59 |
| Loder3331 | Yeah, I went there first, but they're not very helpful or active | 17:59 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: there is a limit on the number of primary partitions you can have on a disk | 17:59 |
| MenZa | I'm tempted to agree with ndrwc on this one; it seems like a problem with Fedora, not Ubuntu. Of course, if you can get the logfile, Loder3331, then it might be easier for us to troubleshoot it. | 17:59 |

| Loder3331 | I don't think I am. Is there a way to tell? | 18:00 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: furthermore, if you're trying to let it autoconfigure grub, it'll try to make a primary partition for the boot stuff, afaik. try to point it to your existing /boot | 18:00 |
| Loder3331 | I know that I have two for vista, the regular partition, and a recovery partition | 18:00 |
| Loder3331 | I don't know how many ubuntu uses | 18:00 |
| ndrwc | Loder3331: gparted again | 18:00 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: It sounds like you have three primary partitions. A primary partition is required to boot from. | 18:01 |
| ndrwc | it's amazing how many problems gparted solves... :P | 18:01 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: Check it with gparted, though. | 18:01 |
| JediMaster | what's the name of the program that creates ubuntu/deb packages from source code so you can uninstall them? | 18:01 |
| Loder3331 | Does the free space for fedora have to be in any particular place? | 18:01 |
| Loder3331 | Right now, It's between vista and ubuntu | 18:01 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: no, but you know, i find that it's always nice to have a clean partition table | 18:02 |
| ndrwc | Loder3331: if all else fails put it at the end so it can create an extended... though AFAIK that would also count as a primary | 18:02 |
| Loder3331 | AFAIK? | 18:02 |
| MenZa | JediMaster: checkinstall does that. | 18:02 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: "As far as I know" | 18:02 |
| ndrwc | not sure if it's possible / difficult to convert between primary and extended partitions.., | 18:03 |
| Loder3331 | ah | 18:03 |
| JediMaster | MenZa: that's the one, thanks | 18:03 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: have you tried making logical volumes? | 18:03 |
| MenZa | It's impossible, ndrwc. | 18:03 |
| ndrwc | MenZa: figured as much | 18:03 |
| speedball | hello aaron11? | 18:03 |
| Loder3331 | I don't know how that works, nor do I know what purpose it would serve, so no | 18:03 |
| MenZa | You need to remove and create the partition. If you have enough free space, you can create a temporary partition to unload the data on, then copy it back, though. | 18:03 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: you wouldn't hit that primary partition limit with logical volumes | 18:03 |
| ndrwc | "it's amazing how many problems can be solved with ..." an external hdd | 18:04 |
| Loder3331 | How do I configure a volume to be logical? And which one(s) should I do it do? | 18:04 |
| Loder3331 | do it to* | 18:04 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: You need to remember that you Logical partitions can't be booted directly from. My suggestion is a /boot partition, which runs as primary. This could run a bootloader to boot both Fedora and Ubuntu. | 18:05 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: The practicalities might require you to basically nuke your current partition table, unless you have the required space. And know that it might take a long, long time if you need to move partitions around. | 18:06 |
| Loder3331 | right now vista is my /boot partition | 18:06 |
| gOLDfeesh | !auto-apt | 18:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about auto-apt | 18:06 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: And by a long time, I mean several hours. | 18:06 |
| gOLDfeesh | hmm.. | 18:06 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: Huh? | 18:06 |
| mgmuscari | you just have to make sure that your /boot is on a primary partition and that your kernel image is also in there | 18:06 |
| Loder3331 | vista is /boot, and when I boot, I choose between vista and ubuntu | 18:06 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: do you mean you're chain loading grub through the vista bootloader? | 18:06 |
| Loder3331 | ubuntu is always selected automatically, but vista is my /boot partition according to gparted, if I remember correctly | 18:06 |
| mgmuscari | O_o | 18:06 |
| yunita- | :P | 18:07 |
| ndrwc | Loder3331: so I assume ubuntu's /boot is on the same partition as the root filesystem... | 18:07 |
| Loder3331 | I wouldn't know, really | 18:07 |
| MenZa | /boot and a boot flag aren't the same, Loder3331 - /boot is a Linux-specific mountpoint | 18:07 |
| aaron11 | speedball | 18:07 |
| ndrwc | I wasn't aware that one could set an ntldr entry for a linux partition | 18:07 |
| speedball | hey | 18:07 |
| aaron11 | speedball: ok | 18:07 |
| Loder3331 | So by creating a /boot partition, when my bootloader comes up, instead of choosing from vista and ubuntu, I could choose from vista, or a sub-menu, or other bootloader or something, from which I could choose ubuntu or fedora? | 18:08 |
| gOLDfeesh | !nvidia | 18:08 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:08 |
| mgmuscari | ndrwc: i certainly have never been able to get vista's bootloader to point to linux | 18:08 |
| ndrwc | mgmuscari: I've only seen it done with wubi | 18:08 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: do you see grub when you boot your computer? | 18:08 |
| Loder3331 | yes | 18:08 |
| Loder3331 | black screen with grey text choices? | 18:08 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: Can you give me an idea of the number/capacity of your harddrive(s), so I can look around and draft up an idea for a partition layout? | 18:08 |
| younder | Crome for ubuntu rocks. | 18:08 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: so grub is the linux bootloader, and it's located in /boot | 18:08 |
| Loder3331 | one 750gb harddrive | 18:08 |
| Curtis_B | where is the gedit binary? it's not in /bin | 18:08 |

| MenZa | Oh, question - Loder3331, do you have a Windows Vista installation CD, or an OEM recovery CD? | 18:09 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: the windows one would say "Windows Boot Manager" at the top | 18:10 |
| Loder3331 | and similarly to that, where you would choose between the windows OSs after choosing the windows option, in my case, It would read as fedora/ubuntu or something? | 18:10 |
| Loder3331 | No I don't, MenZa | 18:10 |
| Loder3331 | I'm 95% sure I'm booting with grub | 18:10 |
| aaron11 | dog | 18:10 |
| Loder3331 | it looks like the picture | 18:10 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: properly configured, grub will display something like 'Ubuntu' 'Fedora' and 'Windows Vista' | 18:10 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: Right | 18:10 |
| === koh__ is now known as RussellAlan | ||
| Curtis_B | JonJ, fyi, it was /usr/bin | 18:10 |
| JonJ | Curtis_B: Nah, it's for local software that isn't essential for the system, as far as I can tell | 18:10 |
| mgmuscari | grub chain loads the windows bootloader, which is on your windows C: partition | 18:11 |
| JonJ | Curtis_B: Ah, ok | 18:11 |
| Loder3331 | Does a recovery partition serve the same purpose as a recovery cd? | 18:11 |
| Loder3331 | For windows? | 18:11 |
| Loder3331 | Because my drive has a recovery partition | 18:11 |
| Curtis_B | so /bin is essential, good to know | 18:11 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: yes but that would eradicate your linux installations | 18:11 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: I suppose, yes | 18:11 |
| Loder3331 | and my BIOS has an option to boot into the recovery manager | 18:11 |
| tuxxie | mgmuscari: properly configured grub will only have linux os's :D | 18:11 |
| applecache | recovery ahs ur drivers etc | 18:11 |

| === ben is now known as Guest23092 | ||
| === Guest23092 is now known as int0x0c | ||
| tuxxie | sudaya: whats wrong with it?? | 18:12 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: sudo apt-get install gparted if you don't have it | 18:12 |
| sudaya | i cant capture in vlc player | 18:13 |
| Loder3331 | I have the livecd | 18:13 |
| Loder3331 | but I could just dl it now then | 18:13 |
| Loder3331 | It's downloading atm | 18:13 |
| ndrwc | scary, it's not part of base... then again I have a fairly minimal install :/ | 18:13 |
| sudaya | tuxxie: i cant capture in vlc | 18:13 |
| mgmuscari | LMAO - i just got the most RIDICULOUS email from my department... sorry for the OT but this is funny. university police are asking us to lock the windows to our offices at night due to bat infestations. | 18:13 |
| Loder3331 | It looks like it's done, mgmuscari. How do I get to it? | 18:14 |
| mgmuscari | from a terminal you can just run gparted | 18:14 |
| Loder3331 | nvm, I found it | 18:14 |
| sudaya | tuxxie: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0c45:613c Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120) | 18:14 |
| sudaya | tuxxie: my cam device | 18:14 |
| Loder3331 | Okay how do I check to see if these are primary? | 18:14 |
| mgmuscari | hate to run before you figure your stuff out Loder3331, but i have to go talk to a professor about the project we're assigning our students... good luck | 18:15 |
| Loder3331 | Thanks, and thanks for you help so far | 18:15 |
| mgmuscari | Loder3331: no problem. try the man pages for help on the appropriate flag to look for extended/primary. run man gparted | 18:15 |
| ndrwc | have a look at the bars at the top, a cyan-ish border around several indicates extended | 18:15 |

| Loder3331 | how do you do a screen capture like in windows, on ubuntu? | 18:20 |
| Loder3331 | I usually just press print screen and paste it in paint | 18:20 |
| Loder3331 | does that work in ubuntu with gimp? | 18:20 |
| ndrwc | Loder3331: printscreen, it'll ask where to save it | 18:20 |
| MenZa | If you press Print Screen, a small window will pop up asking you to save it. | 18:20 |

| Loder3331 | alright what's the fastest way to get you to see this screenshot of gparted? | 18:22 |
| MenZa | !fstab | RussellAlan | 18:22 |
| ubottu | RussellAlan: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 18:22 |

| MenZa | C10uD: Try #ubuntu-motu | 18:22 |
| garv | anyone have experience with the netbook ver of ubuntu vs. xubuntu? | 18:22 |
| C10uD | thanks MenZa | 18:23 |
| MenZa | Oh, ppa owners, C10uD | 18:23 |
| MenZa | C10uD: Check their contact information on Launchpad. | 18:23 |
| ndrwc | MenZa: should do I suppose, so long as uids/gids are the same | 18:23 |
| C10uD | oh ok | 18:23 |
| C10uD | ;:) | 18:23 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: I'll not say I'm pro with partitions, but have a look at this: http://pastebin.com/m21a21713 - I'm 90% sure it should work fine. | 18:23 |
| obiwan_ | hi | 18:23 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: Note that the order of partitions is pretty important | 18:23 |
| Loder3331 | menza, ndrwc, I'm trying to send you a screenshot of my gparted screen | 18:24 |
| obiwan_ | please 1 question, how can i update the kernel? | 18:24 |
| Loder3331 | did you see it? | 18:24 |
| ndrwc | !pastebin | 18:24 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 18:24 |
| MenZa | I see it, Loder3331 | 18:24 |
| MenZa | !kernel | obiwan_ | 18:24 |
| ubottu | obiwan_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 18:24 |
| obiwan_ | ty MenZa | 18:24 |
| MenZa | obiwan_: Be careful, though. | 18:24 |
| MenZa | obiwan_: You shouldn't have to manually compile a new kernel. | 18:25 |
| MenZa | And it can go poof. | 18:25 |
| garv | anyone with xubuntu experiance? the #xubuntu channel is dead | 18:25 |
| MenZa | !anyone | garv | 18:25 |
| ubottu | garv: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 18:25 |
| Loder3331 | I still don't know what the information at that pastebin link means in terms of what I have to do with gparted | 18:25 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: Look at the, uh, bar I created. It's ASCII, so not quite as pretty as what you see in gparted. | 18:26 |
| MenZa | It requires you to delete most of your partitions and start over, basically. | 18:26 |
| MenZa | Partitions are stone-age like that. | 18:26 |
| garv | Menza would you reccomend using xubuntu or the netbook ver of ubuntu with a older laptop? | 18:26 |
| MenZa | garv: That's up to your preferences. | 18:26 |
| MenZa | !best | 18:26 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:26 |
| ndrwc | heh | 18:27 |
| MenZa | Man, I would be arthritic if I didn't depend so much on the factoids in here. | 18:27 |
| ekimmargni | How can I have network manager use a static IP on the LAN? Is that a setting on the router, or in NM (or both)? | 18:27 |
| ndrwc | MenZa: my system atm: http://imagebin.org/63966 | 18:27 |
| ndrwc | swap inside extended | 18:27 |
| MenZa | ndrwc: Ah. I'll keep that in mind. | 18:28 |
| ndrwc | MenZa: wait did I have a point there? :P | 18:28 |
| Loder3331 | MenZa: okay so if I read correctly, I need to have a boot partition(primary), followed by a windows vista partition(primary), followed by an ubuntu partition(extended), followed by a fedora partition(extended), followed by a /home partition(extended), followed by a 16gb swap partition(I have 8gb ram.., extended) | 18:28 |
| ndrwc | I think i'd better get some sleep | 18:28 |
| Loder3331 | Is that correct? | 18:28 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: "Extended" just means it can contain several partitions, without ACTUALLY being a partition. | 18:29 |
| MenZa | And good lord, if you have 8GB, don't waste a kilobyte on the swap | 18:29 |
| ndrwc | my work machine would be a better indication, it's a macbook so it's got EFI, OSX, Ubuntu and swap | 18:29 |
| Loder3331 | lol | 18:29 |
| adac | which grafic driver should i install if I don't want to use the proprietary ones (nvidea, ati). For to get a movie playing without problems? | 18:29 |
| Loder3331 | ubuntu gave me a very small swap file by default | 18:29 |
| ndrwc | MenZa: ... hibernate? | 18:29 |
| Loder3331 | so should I just take that one and put it at the end | 18:29 |
| rigodeni | I noticed when i restart my comp, at the ubuntu load screen it keeps doing "Routine check of disk" how can i disable this? | 18:29 |
| Loder3331 | with gparted? | 18:29 |
| MenZa | ndrwc: It should be able to suspend-to-ram. | 18:29 |
| ndrwc | oh why do swap partitions keep being used if swap files are better? | 18:29 |
| ndrwc | MenZa: power failure? | 18:30 |
| thiebaude | !swap | 18:30 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 18:30 |
| ndrwc | thiebaude: thankyou :) | 18:30 |
| Loder3331 | Yeah | 18:30 |
| bodly | adac: depends on which card you have. nv driver for nvidia card. ati driver for ati card. the nv driver has no 3d acceleration at all. | 18:30 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: If you *do* want swap, i wouldn not go above 1--2GB swap, but I really don't think you need it. | 18:30 |
| Loder3331 | So MenZa, did you see my current configuration? | 18:30 |
| Loder3331 | in the screencapture? | 18:31 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: I must've missed it. Apologies. | 18:31 |

| gwildor | rigodeni, did you try letting it do the check? | 18:32 |
| MenZa | garv: check http://canonical.com/netbook | 18:32 |
| ndrwc | rigodeni: accept that you'll have data loss? | 18:32 |
| ekimmargni | rigodeni: you probably shouldn't | 18:32 |
| MenZa | Len: That certainly depends what you need help with. | 18:32 |
| rigodeni | gwildor: no | 18:32 |
| applecache | rigodeni; maybe ur hard drive has problomes | 18:32 |
| gwildor | rigodeni, i would start there. | 18:32 |
| garv | Menza thank you | 18:32 |
| Loder3331 | how do I upload my picture to that page, MenZa? | 18:32 |
| ekimmargni | rigodeni: you can make it run less often though, using tune2fs - and you can make it run faster by using ext4 filesystem | 18:32 |
| rigodeni | gwildor: k | 18:32 |
| adac | bodly, Well I want to use my usb stick on multiple pcs the grafic card can differ. so what would you suggest? | 18:32 |

| ndrwc | or imageshack.us or whatever really :P | 18:33 |
| applecache | upload -= send i think | 18:33 |

| MenZa | Loder3331: Well... You *can* leave Windows as the first partition - or so I'm told. Moving that block around would be no fun. swap the locations of /boot and /media/win on my partition table and work with it from there | 18:36 |
| adac | bodly, so is it possible to install both drivers ati and nvidia at the same time? | 18:36 |
| legend2440 | !karmic | JamesB192 | 18:36 |

| Len | ndrwc: no, Im thinking in installing bind | 18:36 |
| Loder3331 | I have no idea | 18:37 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: I'd just delete most of my partitions and rebuild it completely. Oh, and leave your recovery partition where it is | 18:37 |
| ndrwc | Loder3331: you didn't move it then? | 18:37 |
| Loder3331 | No | 18:37 |

| ndrwc | ok | 18:37 |
| Len | ndrwc: but I don't know how to set it up | 18:38 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: It is a bit of brain surgery you have going here. If you're new to Linux, why don't you stick to one distribution? | 18:38 |

| Loder3331 | Do I just create a /home and a /boot partition in the free space? | 18:39 |
| MenZa | Loder3331: Moving partitions around, deleting partitions, re-installing | 18:39 |
| Loder3331 | and put them in the correct places? | 18:39 |
| MenZa | Make sure they're all in the extended table | 18:39 |

| Tomasso | ben_m , how they do it?? | 18:55 |
| adac | bodly, ok so while checking Xorg.0.log It seems that the driver that is taken is indeed the nvidia one. here is my log: http://pastie.org/617696 So my the cause for the slowliness wathcing a video is caused by something other...like the read/write speed of my usb stick? Is that possible? | 18:55 |
| MenZa | keiya_: Evolution works better for me than Outlook ever did in Windows. | 18:55 |
| keiya_ | I mean, one that connects not through OWA, which all of them seem to use... the OWA xml-rpc stuff is disabled on this one. | 18:55 |
| MenZa | ouch | 18:55 |
| Frots | Tomasso: I think it was puppy linux | 18:55 |
| keiya_ | Or something. | 18:55 |
| ben_m | Yeah I think so | 18:55 |
| keiya_ | Either way, it thinks it's exchange 5.5. It's 8.1 | 18:56 |
| shane2peru | K7522: running rpcinfo -p will reveal the ports involved, however after a reboot, they are different, it is the nlock and mountd? or something like that. | 18:56 |

| shane2peru | K7522: hmm, doesn't seem to be in the repos | 19:03 |

| J_P | Hi all | 19:03 |
| matt098 | zack19, make sure you ahve your video drivers installed and that your monitor supports a resolution bigger than that | 19:03 |
| bodly | adac: you could still try the nouveau driver for nvidia | 19:03 |
| J_P | Anyone know how I change the time (default 60s) to shutodown machine when press power button? | 19:03 |
| K7522 | shane2peru, that's why you don't have that particular file; you can see what package they are in by looking at the "RPM" column. That package may be depreciated, try editing the rest of the ports and see if you've resolved it. | 19:04 |
| jschall | i play starcraft in wine, and i want to be able to alt-tab out of it. i'm able to now, but the screen resolution stays at 640x480. how can i make it change back to normal on alttab? | 19:04 |
| zack19 | how do i go about updating or reistalling the display driver | 19:04 |
| adac | bodly, If kvm would detect the resoltion correctly I would boot the usb stick with kvm in avirtual machine as guest. So I could program in the virtual machine (guest) and watch movies on my host system :) | 19:04 |
| zack19 | i just switched to ubuntu so im a bit of a newb | 19:04 |
| adac | bodly, yeah i will probably try that out! | 19:04 |
| shane2peru | K7522: yeah, I will look through the rest, that is why I was looking for Ubuntu specific instructions. Thanks for the tip though | 19:04 |
| K7522 | shane2peru, actually it looks like most of the rest of it is ntfs-utils. Let me try to dig around some more. | 19:04 |

| speedxxxcore | bodly: 2.4 | 19:31 |
| TrentonAdams | Pici: Thanks muchly, I'll try it out. | 19:31 |

| dsuch | AAA: you sure had an Internet connection during install? (just been bitten by that :-), perhaps you just need to sudo apt-get update :-)) | 19:56 |

I press power button and ywt show message 60s to shutodown. | 20:00 |
| jenistin | J_P, have you checked the gnome config? | 20:00 |
| J_P | jenistin: where? what is command ? | 20:01 |
| Pici | mikefletcher85: No, you'd need to make a real mount for the samba share. i.e: mount -t smbfs \\IP\path /mount/something | 20:01 |

| jenistin | J_P, gconf-editor is the app | 20:01 |
| seidos | J_P: you can use shutdown command in your shell | 20:02 |
| J_P | jenistin: yes, but I not find any entry to this config.. | 20:02 |

| grawity | Pici: Actually, GVFS mounts (the GNOME ones) are accessible under ~/.gvfs/ like any other filesystem. | 20:02 |
| jenistin | rayne, is Sirius using a flash app or what? | 20:02 |
| mikefletcher85 | Pici: would it look like "dd if=/path of=smb://IP/Folder"? | 20:02 |
| seidos | J_P: ah, when power button is pressed | 20:03 |
| J_P | jenistin: you know in gconf-editor what is option ? | 20:03 |
| rangua | hey, could anyone help me identify a process? | 20:03 |

| Pici | TrentonAdams: What version of libssl-dev does it look to be trying to install. Look at the output of apt-cache policy libssl-dev | 20:03 |
| jenistin | J_P, not off hand, no | 20:03 |
| rangua | its the one with PID=0 | 20:03 |
| rayne | jenistin, it appears that it is a flash app, it launches a seperate browser for its player | 20:03 |
| rangua | and for some reason, it's receiving data from the internet... all the time.. i can't stop (nor i want to kill it before knowing what it is) | 20:04 |
| Pici | mikefletcher85: No, the shell doesn't know what smb:// is, so you'd either had to mount it in Gnome and use whatever it creates in ~/.gvfs or mount it manually with: sudo mount -t smbfs //IP/Folder /media/path/ and then use /media/path/file in of= | 20:04 |
| J_P | Halitech: yes (Right click on your username (the "Fast User Switch Applet") and select Preferences.). That works when sotfiware button is clicked. but for hardware button (when power button is pressed) not works. | 20:04 |
| jenistin | rayne, it's hard to say what may be the issue without looking more closely; have you contacted their support? | 20:05 |
| Halitech | J_P, because it is a safety feature to prevent the system from being shutdown in case its an accidental press | 20:05 |

| hedkandi | Let me check: updates are for bug-fixes to my existing hardy software, so it could mean upping the minor minor version number | 20:38 |
| K7522|AFK | boscop, my pleasure :) | 20:39 |
| hedkandi | whereas a backport could up the major version number | 20:39 |

| _markus__ | I've been running karmic sine a few weeks, after I upgraded a few minutes ago, I can't boot into my system anymore (neither normal nor recover). The last lines when running recover are that it writes starting script in bottom-local and ...-local, then nothing. I can press ctrl-alt-del and it reboots. During the reboot sequence I see that the filesystem was mounted read only yet. Any ideas? | 20:46 |
| Pici | _markus__ : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. | 20:47 |
| _markus__ | thx | 20:47 |
| hedkandi | guys: what is in this repo? | 20:48 |
| hedkandi | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-backports main universe multiverse restricted | 20:48 |
| hedkandi | backports of what for what? | 20:48 |
| Pici | !backports | hedkandi | 20:48 |
| ubottu | hedkandi: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 20:48 |
| hedkandi | not helpful | 20:48 |
| hedkandi | what is in intrepid backports? | 20:49 |
| hedkandi | spell it out for me if you're smart enough | 20:49 |
| Pici | hedkandi: No need for the atitude. | 20:49 |
| bodly | hedkandi: you want a list of packages? or an explanation of what backports is for? | 20:49 |

| Vinceman | trism, I have it installed but it doesn't run, can you help me out? | 20:53 |
| Vinceman | I already tried chmod | 20:53 |
| trism | Vinceman: it's not an executable, you should just try opening it in one of the media players like totem | 20:53 |
| trism | Vinceman: opening a .mov file that is | 20:53 |
| Vinceman | trism but it was already installed it said when I tried to install it | 20:53 |
| trism | Vinceman: if that doesn't work, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras, that should get you all the codecs you need | 20:54 |
| hunger__ | johnT, i'm beginning to think the same, i can find out how much a device is drawing, and per a USB spec the usb module is supposed to say what it is, but from what i've read so far there's no way | 20:55 |

| cemc | is there a way to encrypt a user's home AFTER ubuntu got installed? | 20:58 |
| === jelkner is now known as rpbrooke | ||
| alabama | will your home directory be encrypted when your screensaver turns on, if you have the feature enabled? | 20:58 |
| bodly | MarkG: fetchmail to get the mail, courier-imap to server them up | 20:59 |
| johnT | cemc do you have a separate /home partition or just a directory? | 21:00 |
| IceWewe | I'm having buffer I/O issues with a RAID 5 array. I've independently tested all the disks and they all pass a full media scan, could something else be happening? | 21:00 |
| trism | Vinceman: yeah | 21:00 |
| MarkG | Does Dovecot offer any advantages over courier-imap? | 21:00 |
| cemc | johnT: just a directory | 21:00 |
| Vinceman | trism the movie is supposed to last about five minutes, but it goes by without image in a few seconds | 21:00 |
| MK-ubuntu | i guess ubuntu-server room is always quiet | 21:00 |
| bodly | MarkG: actually, now that you mention it, i'm using dovecot, not courier | 21:01 |
| kudi1 | can ubuntu mount .daa | 21:01 |
| Vinceman | apt-get says it doesn't know ubuntu restricted | 21:01 |
| johnT | check this : http://blog.gnist.org/article.php?story=EncryptedSwapAndHomeUbuntu - this is a complex but comprehensive guide about enrcrypting home and swap too. But of course there are lots of easier alternatives | 21:01 |
| johnT | like: re-installing ubuntu with home encryption on, or using another OpenSource utility | 21:01 |
| trism | Vinceman: oh are you saying the movie plays, just not well? | 21:01 |
| johnT | like Truecrypt | 21:01 |
| MarkG | I want the easiest to setup, I spend an age to get dovecot working (its now sorta working). How does sending mail fit into the scheme of things? in a setup like this? | 21:02 |
| cemc | johnT: is Truecrypt safer then encrypting the home ? | 21:02 |
| trism | Vinceman: and the package I was talking about is spelled ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:02 |
| Vinceman | ok | 21:02 |
| MarkG | I suppose what I am not saying, is I will never be opening or sending emails from the Ubuntu system directly, it will always be an intermediary | 21:03 |
| Vinceman | trism it's a big package | 21:03 |
| johnT | cemc, Truecrypt is Safe as it uses AES 256, but truecrypt creates a separate file container | 21:03 |
| johnT | Truecrypt does not encrypt home directory, | 21:03 |
| MK-ubuntu | hey guys, | 21:03 |
| MK-ubuntu | I have a question | 21:03 |
| johnT | it simply offers you strong encryption with ease | 21:03 |
| trism | Vinceman: yes it has alot of stuff, many video codecs, and probably other stuff...the restricted codecs are lumped together in a bunch of poorly named packages, so it is hard to tell what has what | 21:03 |
| bodly | MarkG: if you're not going to send mail from this box then you don't really need to install sendmail, postfix, etc. | 21:04 |
| MK-ubuntu | on my VPS (server) I got 2 IPs assigned to me, but i got the 1st one to work but cant get the second one to work.. can you guys help? | 21:04 |
| tobixen | I just did "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" on my karmic system, and now X doesn't work anymore ... is that a known issue? Worked fine earlier today | 21:04 |
| cemc | johnT: ok, I'll look into it, thanks | 21:04 |
| johnT | but you can't encrypt home directory with truecrypt. this program can create a file container or encrypt a whole partition. | 21:04 |
| trism | Vinceman: that's why I initially said just the libquicktime1 package, but you said that wasn't working for you | 21:04 |
| cemc | johnT: like cryptsetup ? | 21:05 |
| Vinceman | trism so I do run the risk a bit of my PC becoming one big chaos :-( | 21:05 |
| galtom | tobixen, Yes it is :) | 21:05 |
| cowgarden | hi, i tried to install madwifi and now my wireless interface is gone (was wlan0 with a ath5k driver) I did not blacklist anything yet | 21:05 |
| johnT | almost, www.truecrypt.org ;) it is a simple-to-install and to use program, check it | 21:05 |
| tobixen | galtom: so what do I do, wait and hope the issue is resolved until tomorrow? :) | 21:05 |
| alabama | will your home directory be encrypted when your screensaver turns on, if you have the feature enabled? | 21:05 |
| johnT | its cross-platform too | 21:05 |
| MarkG | bodly: However I DO want the mails to live in a IMAP "sent" folder. | 21:06 |
| trism | Vinceman: you could try installing vlc or mplayer, they use a different set of codecs, and mov should work out of the box in them | 21:06 |
| johnT | alabama, I never heard about such feature | 21:06 |
| MarkG | so I think I do need to send them via the ubuntu system. I'm not sure how it all connects together tho! | 21:06 |
| galtom | tobixen, I think yes. I tried to fix, but I can't | 21:06 |
| bodly | MarkG: i would be surprised if there are not several how-to's out there with step-by-step instructions. | 21:06 |
| cowgarden | alabama, when your home is encrypted it will be decrypted on demand only | 21:06 |
| cowgarden | alabama, means it is encrypted as long as your screen is locked | 21:07 |
| MarkG | I have looked and not come up with much in the way of howtos, or they are just not the right setup | 21:07 |
| guntbert | !karmic | tobixen | 21:07 |

| galtom | ubottu, THX | 21:07 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about THX | 21:07 |
| alabama | cowgarden: so if my screens locks with the screensaver, my home directory is encrypted? | 21:07 |
| jpds | galtom: Try: "ubottu, thanks" | 21:08 |
| galtom | ubottu, Sorry. I mean thank you | 21:08 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:08 |
| bodly | MarkG: basically i pop mail down from a server and serve it out via imap at home, just like you want to. but i send my mail through gmail and sent mail doesn't get saved on my local server. | 21:08 |
| bodly | MarkG: so i'm not really sure how that would hook in there either. :-) | 21:08 |
| madunix | net | 21:08 |
| galtom | :) | 21:08 |
| tobixen | guntbert: of course, known risk. | 21:08 |
| cowgarden | alabama, if you have to type your password again to use the computer, yes (and if you enabled the home encryption at all) | 21:09 |
| bro | can i upgrade to nautilus 2.4 on hardy? | 21:09 |

| bodly | MarkG: i guess you would just setup postfix and configure it to use the same maildir that dovecot does | 21:11 |
| alabama | cowgarden: what kinds of things are *not* encrypted when you enable home directory encryption? | 21:11 |
| johnT | everything else | 21:11 |
| delly | 'ello there. Is there a way to disable tapping for the touchpad? I have tried gsynaptic and one other GUI, both say they want a line added to the xorg.conf, but is there a easier way to turn of the tapping? | 21:11 |
| bodly | markg: then have postfix forward to the server you pop mail from | 21:11 |
| obiwan_ | hi, please how can i move in text mode? mouse wheel won't work | 21:11 |
| johnT | pag up pag down | 21:12 |
| bgamari | obiwan_: you mean scrollback? | 21:12 |
| obiwan_ | yeah | 21:12 |
| cowgarden | alabama, everything appart from /home/ and in home are: you docs, the desktop and program settings. programms temp and the whole system are outside of it | 21:12 |
| obiwan_ | scrollback hehe | 21:12 |
| MarkG | are postfix and sendmail similar applications? Do they serve the same general purpose? | 21:12 |
| bgamari | obiwan_: Shift-PgUp/PgDown | 21:12 |
| obiwan_ | i don't have page down johnT :( | 21:12 |
| bgamari | delly: look at xinput | 21:12 |
| seidos | 2011 is the next LTS release? | 21:12 |
| obiwan_ | don't have page down :( | 21:12 |
| cowgarden | any Ideas about my missing wifi interface? | 21:12 |
| johnT | lol don't have pgdown?:D | 21:12 |
| khufu | Is synaptic opensource? | 21:12 |
| obiwan_ | it's $200 netbook xP | 21:12 |
| johnT | lol | 21:12 |
| Vinceman | trism, the installation says it's saving stuff to blabla.exe.. but I thought exe files don't work in linus | 21:12 |
| cowgarden | Khisanth, 4 shure | 21:12 |
| johnT | you made my day | 21:12 |
| bgamari | khufu: the synaptic package manager? | 21:12 |
| khufu | Yes | 21:13 |
| trism | Vinceman: it is probably just extracting codecs | 21:13 |
| cowgarden | sry Khisanth | 21:13 |
| bgamari | khufu: yes | 21:13 |
| delly | bgamari: anything more spesifix? Xinput is quite huge, or do i have to look trough the entire mess? | 21:13 |
| khufu | And whyis it named just like the Mouse manager under windows+ | 21:13 |
| khufu | ? | 21:13 |
| obiwan_ | nice it has, it works with Fn key didn't know | 21:13 |
| bodly | MarkG: yes, there are quite a few mail transfer agents (MTAs) | 21:13 |
| bgamari | delly: sorry, the xinput utility | 21:13 |
| obiwan_ | i've learned two things :) | 21:13 |
| trism | obiwan_: depends on what you're using, if you're in irssi and you want to scrollback, and you don't have pgup/down like me you can hit ESC then p to go back and ESC then n to go forward | 21:13 |
| Vinceman | trism, this is really heavy (wo)man... | 21:14 |
| johnT | :D obiwan, even the crappiest netbook can't miss keys | 21:14 |
| kudi1 | what is a multi sector image? | 21:14 |
| bgamari | delly: xorg comes with a command line utility for interacting with the xinput subsystem | 21:14 |
| khufu | I don't like this synaptic | 21:14 |
| bgamari | delly: If your xorg is new enough tapping is exposed as an input property | 21:14 |
| khufu | Does debian ship with it? | 21:14 |
| khufu | or only ubuntu | 21:14 |
| Brandano | hi people. Quick stupid question: is it safe to uninstall old linux kernel header packages? apart from compiling stuff they should be unneeded, I think? | 21:14 |
| delly | bgamari: ok, where am i suppose to look for figuring it out? | 21:14 |
| obiwan_ | and hirzontal scrolling? | 21:15 |
| johnT | khufu you can install another package manager if you want | 21:15 |
| bgamari | khufu: I don't believe it's in the default debian installation | 21:15 |
| bgamari | delly: man xinput | 21:15 |
| MarkG | so I need fetchmail to collect POP3 mail from the remote ISP deliver it to my ubuntu mailbox, then dovecot to serve it up, and I need sendmail to send it out again to my ISP's SMTP server. Is that the nuts of it? | 21:15 |
| johnT | just as you install any other application | 21:15 |
| feydr | been fighting upgrades on jaunty today.. short story is I lost my kernels and rebooted on accident -- wanting to install new kernel on mounted partition.... how would I go about doing that? | 21:15 |
| bodly | MarkG: yup, that should do it. | 21:15 |
| obiwan_ | my screen has only 9 inches and lines don't break, they go beyond the screen | 21:15 |
| obiwan_ | i need to scroll right anyway :S | 21:15 |
| HANC | i am kind of getting back into linux the last verion that i used was redhat ether 6.1 or 7 and sthen went to the service is their anyone who has any suggestins for ome decent tools and does the x interface still exist? | 21:15 |
| trism | Vinceman: oh wait, are you installing the restricted-extras? the exe files are fonts, it is installing the mscorefonts | 21:15 |
| danbhfive | feydr: do you have a livecd? | 21:15 |
| bgamari | feydr: chroot | 21:15 |
| johnT | obiwan, are you serious? :) | 21:15 |
| obiwan_ | yeah haha this piece of ... computer my mother bought haha | 21:16 |
| feydr | danbhfive: yep | 21:16 |
| Vinceman | trism, when I run the mov it does scroll along the bar for a few seconds | 21:16 |
| khufu | what happened to the tor package? it's nowhere in ubuntu | 21:16 |
| Vinceman | trism but I see and hear nothing | 21:16 |
| Brandano | HANC: if you are used to redhat you might want to try Fedora too. On the other hand Ubuntu is friendlier to the casual user | 21:16 |
| feydr | bgamari: I figured... so I just need to maybe chroot /media/disk/ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or something?? | 21:16 |
| obiwan_ | how can i move right? shift + home and shift + end which are to left and right of av page and re page won't work | 21:16 |
| johnT | sorry obiwan, I can't help you :) | 21:16 |
| bgamari | feydr: yeah, perhaps explicitly install linux-image or something as well | 21:16 |
| delly | bgamari: Ok, i found the touchpad on the list command. But that is not really helping, what am i suppose to do? | 21:17 |
| danbhfive | feydr: follow this to chroot, then install linux-generic | 21:17 |

| bgamari | delly: you want the set-prop command | 21:18 |
| trism | !mplayer | Vinceman | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Vinceman: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs | 21:18 |
| ikonia | obiwan_: what terminal are you using ? | 21:18 |
| arand | khufu: tor has their own repo to add, look through their site. | 21:18 |

| roygbiv | anyone know which package i need to install to get the smbmount command? | 21:18 |
| obiwan_ | bgamari, that's cause usually screens are bigger than the usual tty wide format, but this is smaller haha | 21:18 |
| ikonia | roygbiv: smb-client | 21:19 |
| obiwan_ | i mean im in ctrl alt f1, it's not terminal emulation | 21:19 |

| Mike_lifeguard | obiwan_: sure, but shouldn't the gui utility do that too? O-o (also there is no explanation of what the groups mean) | 21:25 |

| tete | hi there, i have a problem.. i installed a game and then my system crashes (kernel oops), and when i try to login now my mouse and keyboard is not working (in X) | 21:26 |
| roygbiv | 9.04 | 21:26 |
| alabama | cowgarden: modify my programs? | 21:26 |
| tete | can someone help me plz? how can i boot without X? | 21:26 |
| tete | and what could be the problem? | 21:26 |
| Vinceman | trism, great I don't get that message anymore but yet still it doesn't work.. it says "Exiting (End of file)" | 21:26 |
| obiwan_ | Mike_lifeguard, then don't know anything better :( | 21:26 |
| bgamari | tete: Ctrl-Alt-F1 | 21:26 |
| candrodor | actually, the power button in the top corner is unresponsive as well. So I don't know how to restart now either. | 21:26 |
| Vinceman | trism I chmod 777ed the mov file too which was 644 | 21:27 |
| bgamari | tete that will bring you to the console | 21:27 |
| cowgarden | alabama, just in case someone sneaks to you computer and boots from an usb stick he could modifie programs.... and your encryption does not protect you against that | 21:27 |
| tete | bgamari, is not working because as soon as X starts the mouse and keyboard is not working so ctrl+alt+f1 cant do it | 21:27 |
| trism | Vinceman: you shouldn't need to change the permissions, 644 is correct | 21:27 |
| alabama | cowgarden: how could the programs be modified? | 21:27 |
| bgamari | tete: then boot into rescue mode | 21:27 |

| LeChacal | hello, i need to change the order in which certain modules are loaded so that one is loaded before the other, if i change the order of the lines in the /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/modules.dep file is that all i need to do? | 21:32 |
| no_one | yes | 21:32 |
| alabama | cowgarden: I'm aware of that but how do you get it to encrypt the *entire* system upon screen-lock? | 21:32 |
| adalal | pixlbox: have you tried any other browser (ie. chromium, opera, etc.)? (btw, it makes it easier if you tag your lines here with the username of the person ur talking to... ie. jus type in ad , and then hit tab) | 21:32 |
| delly | Ok, can anybody explain why the synaptics(note the S) manpage is dated? It lacks information on MANY of the capabilities that is listed by xinput. | 21:32 |
| erUSUL | no_one: can you elaborate ? DL== double layer? | 21:32 |
| bgamari | alabama: you'd be waiting a whle | 21:33 |
| bgamari | while* | 21:33 |
| adalal | pixlbox: or in my case.. adal and then tab | 21:33 |
| cowgarden | alabama, but seriously, id it cp or nuclear weapons? /home/ or full encryption, it will be stil the easiest to look at the password you are typing or get it by the noise of the keys or anything | 21:33 |
| pixlbox | adalal: yeah ive tried both them browsers but when it comes to google images none of the thumnails load | 21:33 |
| cowgarden | alabama, nothing is decrypted until it is used, so a locked screen locks all data too. | 21:33 |
| bgamari | obiwan_: I'm not sure disabling fbcon is the best way out | 21:34 |

| no_one | well there are soft for other os's that emulate a virtual dvd witch can use to copy data into and when we want we simply make a copy of the virtual fs to phisical dvd | 21:34 |
| guntbert | !karmic | duryodhan DON'T | 21:34 |
| ubottu | duryodhan DON'T: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 21:34 |
| bgamari | obiwan_: if you still do want to disable fbcon, then you need to add it to the modules blacklist | 21:35 |
| no_one | erUSUL, well there are soft for other os's that emulate a virtual dvd witch can use to copy data into and when we want we simply make a copy of the virtual fs to phisical dvd | 21:35 |
| pixlbox | adalal: yeah in other sites and stuff, pictures load up perfect, in google images the thumnails just arnt loading, it's weird | 21:35 |
| duryodhan | guntbert: but I want to :) .. I need all the newer gnome libs and its a pain to compile each one by one | 21:35 |
| MenZa | duryodhan: Karmic is very, very, very broken right now. Wait. For the love of God, wait. | 21:35 |
| MenZa | duryodhan: It's broken. Very broken. Broken to the extent that it is useless. If you upgrade now, you might not be able to even boot your system. | 21:35 |
| erUSUL | no_one: i do not know of anything simlar for linux | 21:35 |

| lorenzo | hi, I did a complete backup with remastersys; in the end, I got the message that there was too much data for an .iso file. Is the folder that remastersys created a valid backup or do I have to remove some stuff and do it over again? thank | 21:36 |
| adalal | pixlbox: that is weird, maybe it's to do with your local google server, try searching with google.co.in, or google.co.uk instead, and see if things improve | 21:36 |
| MenZa | duryodhan: It's only just now, today. | 21:36 |
| guntbert | duryodhan: listen a few minutes to the crying and whing in #ubuntu#1 right now - and you'll reconsider | 21:36 |
| duryodhan | MenZa: Maybe I can get the iso and install it beside my current system ? | 21:36 |
| MenZa | duryodhan: If you're still interested, I suggest monitoring #ubuntu+1 and see when it's fixed. | 21:36 |
| no_one | erUSUL, ok thanks. I've found ways to do that, but only regular 4.7 Gb dvd | 21:36 |
| pixlbox | adalal strange thing is it seems to be just my pc other computers in the house are working fine | 21:37 |
| adalal | oh.. | 21:37 |
| duryodhan | MenZa: cool thanks .. but can I like get the alpha 5 DVD and install it on the side of current ubuntu install ? | 21:37 |
| adalal | pixlbox: some sort of issue with caching :S.. u said u cleared your caches? | 21:37 |
| MenZa | duryodhan: Sure. But I strongly suggest not running any upgrades on it. | 21:37 |
| MenZa | For now, that is. | 21:37 |

| zaccour | gyachi is such a great program, do only i use it? lol | 22:03 |
| kferdous | ok | 22:03 |
| VCoolio | TheCheeze: I just noticed your entries, sorry, but no, what the h. No X11? Don't understand that one | 22:03 |

| pitput | are there linux distros that use ubuntu .debs but have more up-to-date packages by default? | 22:03 |
| bastid_raZor | kferdous: you should tell vbox to mount the iso as the cd and then boot the vm.. but #vbox may have the best help available. | 22:03 |
| Sp0tter | kferdous ... its been like 7 minutes and you haven't asked your question, i'm sitting here staring at the screen waiting :) | 22:03 |
| TheCheeze | VCoolio, yeah, that's what has me confused too. i thought it was just because this is my first try at compiling and am missing something obscure... but X11? | 22:03 |
| iceroot | pitput: ubuntu unstable | 22:04 |
| kferdous | It says This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. | 22:04 |
| VCoolio | TheCheeze: Try to contact the developer M Trausch (check on launchpad), he's very helpful and fast via mail | 22:04 |
| TheCheeze | kk, thank you | 22:04 |
| pitput | iceroot, what distro do you use? | 22:04 |
| iceroot | kferdous: then use a x86_64 cpu, also use #vbox | 22:04 |
| iceroot | pitput: ubuntu | 22:04 |
| Sp0tter | kferdous, are you running Win7 x64 and did you choose Ubuntu 64bit as your vbox type | 22:04 |
| pitput | iceroot, why did say ubuntu unstable? | 22:05 |
| erUSUL | kferdous: you dled the 64 bit version of ubuntu but you have a 32 bit cpu | 22:05 |
| iceroot | pitput: because its a version of ubuntu | 22:05 |
| thrillyb | hello #ubuntu! | 22:05 |
| iceroot | pitput: like debian sid | 22:05 |
| kferdous | Sp0tter yes | 22:05 |
| Sp0tter | kferdous, unless you have a specific need to use over 4 gig of ram in the vbox, I recommend using a 32 bit guest os | 22:05 |
| pitput | oh! sorry for being newb iceroot | 22:05 |
| kferdous | eraggo hmm i'm running win 7 64bit | 22:05 |
| kferdous | I have 2 gb | 22:06 |
| iceroot | pitput: but i dont think you will find a stable-release using *.deb newer then ubuntu stable | 22:06 |
| kferdous | And running this on a laptop | 22:06 |
| iceroot | !enter | kferdous | 22:06 |

| h00k | If I have a program that is segfaulting on a fresh install, what is the best way to capture that necessary info? (Pidgin) | 22:06 |
| Sp0tter | higher numbers don't always mean better, download the 32 bit version of ubuntu server | 22:06 |
| thrillyb | anyone have any experience / preferences to directory services on Ubuntu server? | 22:06 |
| kferdous | So get the x86 ver? | 22:06 |
| Sp0tter | yep | 22:06 |

| pitput | do you know | 22:06 |

| h00k | erUSUL: er, yes, thanks :) | 22:07 |
| Trijntje | conky problem here: When I run conky (on root window) all my desktop icons disapear. When I move my mouse over them they become visible untill the next conky-redraw. Any suggestions? | 22:07 |
| jiohdi | where does one add or remove items from the standard menu? | 22:08 |
| MarkG | hi, got a silly newbie problem. I added a user from the commandline with useradd -d /home/user -m user when I log on, I get no bash prompt. How can I get it back? | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 22:08 |
| kferdous | Sp0tter ok thanks I'll do that right now | 22:08 |
| jrib | jiohdi: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu | 22:08 |
| Sp0tter | np, it will work fine | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | MarkG: sudo adduser | 22:08 |
| jrib | MarkG: use adduser, not useradd. Delete your user and recreate it | 22:08 |
| gartral | alright, i've sen it asked 100 times and stil cnt remember.. how do i check the status of my fans? | 22:08 |
| Flannel | MarkG: -d would be /home/ not /home/user, but yes, use adduser not useradd | 22:09 |
| MarkG | Can Linux people make things any more complex? | 22:09 |
| sebsebseb | MarkG: put in the password and fill in the account details | 22:09 |
| trism | Trijntje: sounds like you're using gnome, you really don't want to use conky in the root window in that case | 22:09 |
| sebsebseb | MarkG: well you only need to set up a password for them | 22:09 |
| MarkG | sometimes it's a facepalm moment, that surely is one of them. | 22:09 |
| iceroot | gartral: sensors sudo apt-get install sensors | 22:09 |
| gartral | Thank You iceroot | 22:09 |
| jiohdi | jrib, I am running xfce no ubuntu icon to click on | 22:09 |
| trism | Trijntje: you should give it it's own window | 22:09 |
| erUSUL | MarkG: ? the man page of useradd says in its first line « useradd is a low level utility for adding users. On Debian, administrators should usually use adduser(8) instead. » | 22:09 |
| erUSUL | MarkG: do not find it complex. | 22:10 |
| kferdous | Sp0tter how much do I put for the RAM? | 22:10 |
| jrib | jiohdi: try #xubuntu, or try running alacarte or gnome-menu-editor from the terminal I guess | 22:10 |
| iceroot | kferdous: depending on what you want to do with the server | 22:10 |
| MarkG | hardly intuitive two similar utilities thou is it... | 22:10 |
| jiohdi | jrib, thanks :) | 22:10 |
| iceroot | kferdous: normaly 512mb is enough | 22:10 |
| trism | Trijntje: see question 3 of the faq http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html | 22:10 |
| trp | i am sending one email using my pc, i have installed and configure postfix, but it is sending local ip not public ip could someone help me , i will appreciate any help | 22:11 |
| kferdous | iceroot for VBox | 22:11 |
| kferdous | 384 is default on it. | 22:11 |
| erUSUL | MarkG: on is meant to be usaed from scripts (useradd ) the other is the one meant to be used by humans | 22:11 |
| iceroot | kferdous: as i said, 512mb is enough for ubuntu-server | 22:11 |
| kferdous | ok | 22:11 |
| MarkG | and that affects me how? | 22:11 |
| erUSUL | MarkG: just FYI. | 22:12 |
| kferdous | Is 8GB enough? Or do I need more? | 22:12 |
| jhattara | should i boot in single user mode to check secondary hard drive or can i run the check without logging out ? | 22:12 |
| erUSUL | !who | MarkG | 22:12 |
| ubottu | MarkG: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 22:12 |
| iceroot | kferdous: but of course depennding on what you want do. and remeber. ubuntu-server = ubuntu without a gui (and special kernel) so if you are a linux-beginner, use a real ubuntu instead of the server-edition | 22:12 |
| jrib | jhattara: it should just be unmounted | 22:12 |
| zaccour | how do i get voice chat in gyachi? i get an error | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | MarkG: some other account details can be changed graphically as well once you added the user properly | 22:12 |
| erUSUL | jhattara: if you can umount it. you can do it without going into recovery mode | 22:12 |
| MarkG | iceroot can I fun full Ubuntu on a Sheevaplug? | 22:12 |
| kferdous | ohh | 22:12 |
| Sp0tter | kferdous, all the defaults are fine for ubuntu server | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | MarkG: for example if you want the account to be able to do sudo | 22:13 |
| iceroot | MarkG: what? | 22:13 |
| Trijntje | trism: hmm, it seems I have to choose between flicker and no icons :(. With double_buffer yes icons get lost, without it conky flickers | 22:13 |
| jhattara | jrib, erUSUL, thanks, just as i thought, should i use command line tools or can i do it with gparted ? does gparted give verbose data of the check ? | 22:13 |
| charnel | how can I format a device. I have an external hd of 320 gb and no partitions in it | 22:13 |
| erUSUL | MarkG: btw. may i ask why you did not used the System>Administation>Users and groups GUI ? | 22:13 |
| thrillyb | reasking question - anyone have any experience / preferences to directory services on Ubuntu server? | 22:13 |
| iceroot | !gparted | charnel | 22:13 |
| Trijntje | trism: is this specific to gnome? | 22:13 |
| ubottu | charnel: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 22:13 |
| pitput | anyone know the linux-mint channel? | 22:13 |
| MarkG | Is there a channel where everyone does not assume I run X and Ubuntu desktop? | 22:13 |
| trism | Trijntje: no, you want the own_window option, then you can have both, assuming you have a spot on your desktop without icons | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | MarkG: when I said graphically I meant what erUSUL mentioned | 22:13 |
| jrib | jhattara: no idea about gparted, I've always just run fsck | 22:13 |
| genii | !mint | pitput | 22:13 |
| ubottu | pitput: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) | 22:13 |
| charnel | I installed the gparted | 22:13 |
| MarkG | or even capable of running desktop | 22:14 |
| erUSUL | jhattara: do not remember exactly how gparted deos fsck. i allways use cli it gives more control (i can choose the options i pass to fsck) | 22:14 |
| jrib | MarkG: this one when you prefix your question with "I am not running X" | 22:14 |
| pitput | !mintsupport | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org | 22:14 |
| Trijntje | trism: true, but it looks less nice with a border around it. Well, too bad I guess, thanks for your help | 22:14 |
| trism | Trijntje: there shouldn't be a border (or at least there is an option to configure no border) | 22:15 |
| genii | pitput: I knew the channel was in nthere somewheres :) | 22:15 |
| pitput | anyone know how I can get on irc.spotchat.org? | 22:15 |
| charnel | The drive is not visible in gparted | 22:15 |
| jrib | pitput: depends on your irc client... | 22:15 |
| charnel | but I can see it in devices list in lsusb | 22:15 |
| genii | pitput: /server irc.spotchat.org | 22:15 |
| pitput | jrib, I have xchat. | 22:15 |
| VCoolio | Trijntje: you can remove the border with own_window_hints undecorated | 22:15 |
| Trijntje | trism: thanks again, ill try that | 22:16 |
| jrib | pitput: genii's suggestion should work then | 22:16 |
| pitput | genii, where do I input that under? | 22:16 |
| jrib | pitput: same place you puh "jrib, I have xchat." | 22:16 |

| jrib | epaphus: read library.gnome.org admin guides | 22:17 |
| bcj | Do any of the Linux media players include spatializers for headphones? | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | jhattara: depends on the situation. do you spect the fs to be very damaged ? or just is a routine check ? | 22:17 |
| jrib | !minimal > epaphus | 22:17 |
| ubottu | epaphus, please see my private message | 22:17 |
| jhattara | erUSUL, i suspect it has at least some damage, it's an old drive from my last computer that in the end didn't boot properly | 22:17 |
| epaphus | jrib, thanks.. but that would include access to changing the deskptop theme, right? | 22:18 |
| jrib | epaphus: not if you read the admin guides at library.gnome.org | 22:18 |
| epaphus | jrib, thanks | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | jhattara: i sometimes pass -n on the first pass to see the damage but not make any changes to the fs | 22:18 |
| jrib | epaphus: the section is something like "locking down gnome" or similar and there are two documents | 22:19 |
| epaphus | cool | 22:19 |
| stevieman | I just used synaptic to install uudeview and I don't know where it got put, doing a locate uudeview returned no results, would find work to find this program? | 22:19 |
| jhattara | erUSUL, so -vn first and then what ? just plain -v ? depending on the report ? | 22:19 |
| yourfinancialguy | Which is a powerful program for recording and mixing audio? | 22:19 |
| erUSUL | jhattara: then i can use -pcky with more confidence | 22:19 |

| Slimu_ | yourfinancialguy: audacity | 22:20 |
| epaphus | jrib, cool. thanks.. have you done this yourself? | 22:20 |
| erUSUL | jhattara: -p is for repair c and k search and mark badblocks (can take a long time) -y is to answer y to all questions by default | 22:20 |
| jrib | epaphus: no, only here and there to play around | 22:20 |
| erUSUL | jhattara: man e2fsck | 22:20 |
| erUSUL | stevieman: is a command line program or gui ? | 22:21 |

| jrib | _MrsApple_: you may want to try #gimp | 22:31 |

| pasword001 | jrib:ok hu | 22:32 |
| jrib | _MrsApple_: You want to apply some sort of mask that makes the picture black and white | 22:32 |
| pasword001 | na senki | 22:33 |
| _MrsApple_ | jrib, erm... its already black and white. | 22:33 |
| trism | _MrsApple_: not exactly sure the standard way to do this in the gimp but you could make two layers, one with the black and white image and the other with the color image and then edit the mask on one of the layers so you can see the layer below | 22:33 |
| _MrsApple_ | ah. | 22:33 |
| jrib | _MrsApple_: yeah so undo what you did and use my suggestion :) | 22:34 |
| _MrsApple_ | hmm. ok.... ok. thx!! | 22:34 |

| Glaxyyxy | hey guys, how can I insert into multiple files starting on the same line, guessing I would have to use sed for this , sed -i '3s/string' maybe ? | 22:35 |
| trism | _MrsApple_: yw, good luck editing your image | 22:36 |
| jrib | trism: ha didn't see you just made the same suggestion, would have saved me some typing :) | 22:36 |
| trism | jrib: yours was more clear I kind of rambled in there | 22:37 |
| mimiloon | jrib: damn, is there an alternative to active x? | 22:37 |
| yassine_ | trism ,find: invalid predicate `-libqt4-dbus' | 22:37 |
| jrib | mimiloon: not using activex.... what is it you need it for? | 22:37 |
| yassine_ | trism , how can i solve that? | 22:38 |
| jrib | yassine_: tell us what you are trying to do so we can help you :) | 22:38 |
| trism | yassine_: you'll need to quote the string if you want the dash at the beginning | 22:38 |
| trism | yassine_: find / -name "-libqt4-dbus" -print | 22:38 |
| mimiloon | jrib: i got a school assignment for me to use a website and it requires me to have active x installed; i don't have windows installed | 22:39 |
| TheCheeze | how do i make jaunty stop overheating and shutting down my latop? this is very annoying | 22:40 |
| jrib | mimiloon: your best bet is probably to try installing internet explorer in wine, #winehq can help you with that. Alternatively, use a virtualizer (like virtualbox for example) to install windows inside your ubuntu | 22:40 |
| trism | Glaxyyxy: you can do a for FILE in *.something; do sed -e "s/your_expression/new_expression/g" $FILE > $FILE.edited; done | 22:40 |
| trism | Glaxyyxy: you'll need to mv them back to the correct files if you want to overwrite them, I usually like to check that I did it right first though | 22:40 |
| aethelrick | mimiloon: what's the web site? | 22:40 |
| Glaxyyxy | huh? | 22:40 |
| Glaxyyxy | dude, all I need is to make line 3 = 'something' | 22:41 |
| Glaxyyxy | how do I do that :P | 22:41 |
| mimiloon | aethelrick: myitlab.com | 22:41 |
| jrib | Glaxyyxy: what's wrong with what you said? | 22:41 |
| eltume | i guys | 22:41 |
| eltume | how do I check my computer hardware info | 22:41 |
| jrib | trism: -i will edit the file in place if you don't give it a parameter | 22:41 |
| mimiloon | jrib: damn, i'll give it a shot | 22:41 |
| hahahan | TheCheeze: Does other Linux tastes olso overhead your laptop? | 22:42 |
| trism | jrib: yeah I'm always wary of doing that though, like to check that the files look ok first | 22:42 |
| mimiloon | jrib: thanks for your suggestion | 22:42 |
| jrib | trism: very true | 22:42 |
| TheCheeze | never tried hahahan | 22:42 |
| TeLeFrancisco | hello | 22:42 |
| trism | Glaxyyxy: sorry I misunderstood, I thought you already had the sed expression, you just wanted to run it on multiple files | 22:42 |
| yassine_ | trism,find: /home/yassine/.gvfs: Permission denied | 22:42 |
| TheCheeze | it seems to happen under load, example while i was just compiling something | 22:42 |
| yassine_ | trism, why? | 22:42 |
| hahahan | TheCheeze: Then do it. | 22:42 |
| aethelrick | mimiloon: damn... I just read the requirements on the site... your going to need to go the VM route for this puppy | 22:42 |
| jrib | trism: -ifoo makes backups though :) | 22:42 |
| trism | yassine_: don't mind the permission denied stuff, it just means you're searching in places you don't have permission to access | 22:43 |
| DasEi | eltume: hwinfo, lspci, lshw... | 22:43 |
| aleron6 | does anybody here have the same problem i got with movie player being muted | 22:43 |
| trism | jrib: nice, I'll have to try that next time | 22:43 |
| aleron6 | i cant hear the movies i wanna watch | 22:43 |
| aethelrick | mimiloon: they recommend IE8 :S | 22:43 |
| yassine_ | trism, i use the root privilage | 22:43 |
| trism | yassine_: you still may get a few even as root | 22:43 |
| TheCheeze | would it help to upgrade to the ubuntu 10? | 22:43 |
| DasEi | TheCheeze: depending on cpu, there are ways to downclock it, though less perfomance then | 22:44 |
| TheCheeze | err... 9.10 | 22:44 |
| yassine_ | trism, how can i slove that pls? | 22:44 |
| Glaxyyxy | god | 22:44 |

| Glaxyyxy | I figured it out for myself | 22:44 |
| jrib | Glaxyyxy: I told you what you said first would work... | 22:44 |
| DasEi | TheCheeze: Intel ? amd ? | 22:44 |
| TheCheeze | amd x64 | 22:44 |
| kudi1 | how do i make a program executable | 22:45 |

| frewsxcv | kudi1, chmod +x programnameere | 22:45 |

| valley | kudi1: chmod a+x filename | 22:45 |
| TheCheeze | or you can chmod it | 22:45 |
| Glaxyyxy | you need to do `sed -i '3,3s/^/something/g' file` | 22:45 |
| jrib | Glaxyyxy: k | 22:46 |
| jrib | Glaxyyxy: 3,3 can just be 3 | 22:47 |
| komputes | How can I convert 1GB into blocks? | 22:47 |
| trism | yassine_: if you don't want those messages you could redirect stderr to /dev/null (find / -name filename -print 2> /dev/null) | 22:47 |
| mimiloon | aethelrick: thanks for the heads up | 22:47 |
| twisted` | could someone help me figure out why Ubuntu doesn't resolve dns? | 22:47 |
| jrib | Glaxyyxy: and the /g isn't really needed since ^ will only match once | 22:47 |

| ionut_ | Hello! I'm having a problem with smplayer and nvidia. I have nvidia 185.18.36 and mplayer with vdpau. If I play a video in fullscreen whenever I go to the bottom to show the smplayer toolbar the screen flickers. Also when the toolbar disappears the screen flickers. Even when I turn the volume down with the multimedia keys. Does anyone else experience this? | 22:48 |
| aethelrick | mimiloon: you're welcome... for a happy and easy VM experience give virtual box a go :) | 22:48 |
| mimiloon | aethelrick: i'll do that | 22:48 |
| komputes | DasEi: I need to know how many blocks 1GB takes, this is because user quotas takes blocks and not MB/GB. I do not need to convert a file, i need to conver a number. GB -> Blocks | 22:48 |
| ionut_ | note: (flicker = desktop background appears intermittently with the video) | 22:49 |

| DasEi | komputes: see, then use fdisk -l to get the info, use calculator | 22:49 |
| komputes | DasEi: fdisk -l does not show any output. | 22:50 |
| ionut_ | post_ when I had problems with nvidia and freezing I installed the latest kernel and nvidia driver and no freezing for about a month | 22:50 |

| ionut_ | sudo fdisk -l | 22:50 |
| DasEi | komputes: see, then use *sudo* fdisk -l to get the info, use calculator (no*) | 22:50 |
| Mike_lifeguard | where would apache put php errors? | 22:51 |
| DasEi | komputes : speedcrunch, if no calc handy | 22:51 |
| komputes | DasEi: calc open | 22:51 |
| ionut_ | scott_ino2 try lspci | 22:51 |
| komputes | DasEi: what now | 22:51 |
| scott_ino2 | ionut_, what? that would give me a list of hardware, im talking about which driver | 22:51 |
| Trijntje | trism: After some googling i found a way to have conky look like its on the root window with these options (if your interested) own_window yes own_window_type override own_window_transparent yes | 22:51 |
| aethelrick | Mike_lifeguard: in /var/log/apache/ | 22:51 |

| scott_ino2 | ionut_, i have both radeon,radeonhd drivers installed, want to know which one im actually using | 22:52 |
| szeck | hey guys how to install my usb tv tuner on ubuntu any idea? I can see it on lsusb but how to get it work | 22:52 |
| DasEi | komputes :you can see size and how many blocks at all, so devide your gigab by the blocks, get the size of one block, nor ? | 22:53 |
| aethelrick | szeck: maybe try mythtv? | 22:53 |
| ionut_ | scott_ino2 lsmod | grep radeon | 22:53 |
| komputes | DasEi: there has got to be a better, more effective and specific way | 22:53 |

| komputes | DasEi: user quotas | 22:55 |

| thiebaude | q0_0p, maybe #windows | 22:59 |
| scott_ino2 | ionut_, for what it's worth i figured it out | 22:59 |
| q0_0p | is it possible to tar the whole windows drive and get it to work? | 22:59 |
| komputes | DasEi: still simply an estimation, I may be wrong. I will find a better way to do this conversion. | 23:00 |

| cF`Zuz|Work | There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't | 23:05 |
| TheCheeze | genobreaker... i know that name... | 23:05 |

| nexes | i just installed ubuntu (love it so far) but noticed that its running the 2.6.28 kernel and not the new 2.6.30, when will this be updated? | 23:07 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: the next one gets a later kernel by default | 23:07 |
| genobreaker | no i need a program that works fro ubuntu that can burn an iso to usb | 23:07 |
| kappa | nexes, new != better | 23:07 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: you can have a later kernel now, but not much point, unless you have some valid reason to do that | 23:08 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: kappa Newer is not always better! | 23:08 |
| cF`Zuz|Work | I bought this program and in the box it said Requirements: Windows 2000 or better, so i installed linux, but its not working.... | 23:08 |

| sebsebseb | nexes: yes Fedora is more cutting edge than Ubuntu, later packages first etc | 23:09 |
| kappa | mdb viewer is broken in 9.04, it works fine in previous version of ubuntu | 23:09 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: The Ubuntu repos only do security updates, then people can install some later stuff from a PPA, or in another way, or just wait untill the next Ubuntu release | 23:09 |
| nexes | its seems to me that my ubuntu distro is quite a bit faster than fedora though, so a good trade off in my book! | 23:09 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: Did you do Ext4? | 23:09 |
| ubuntistas | how can i set a new profile to mozilla 3.5.3? | 23:09 |

| Crazycheese | Guys, Im working on fixing weird lang autodetection in Firefox. Somehow, no matter the locale, no matter the language pack, first start of Firefox is always in en-US language, and user has to go to about:config and fix it manually. Is it the same situation in Ubuntu? | 23:10 |
| frewsxcv | i think | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: you don't need a seperate /boot when doing Ext4 in Ubuntu | 23:10 |
| frewsxcv | ubuntistas, no: firefox -ProfileManager | 23:10 |
| stranger | ls | 23:10 |
| Crazycheese | guys @ irc.mozilla.org have no clue. | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: by default everything goes into / in Ubuntu, and having a seperate /home can be useful | 23:10 |
| nexes | i had to set it up like that when installing fedora 11, it needs one, and i just kept that partition setup when installing ubuntu | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | nexes: obviously swap is seperate | 23:11 |

| JustinA | but how do i get the installation CD on a bootable flash drive? | 23:16 |
| enduser000 | can anyone tell me where the configuration file for wallpaper tray is? can't find it and sudo apt-get remove --purge doesn't remove it | 23:16 |
| enduser000 | AutoMatriX: you don't have a harddisk to install it on? or you don't have something to back up your files with? | 23:17 |
| ionut_ | JustinA there is a utility called USB Startup Disk Creator in System -> Administration | 23:17 |
| sebsebseb | Crayboff: wrong one | 23:17 |
| rionline | justina: try unetbootin | 23:17 |
| rionline | wait, let me look | 23:17 |
| sebsebseb | Crazycheese: You got Firefox 3.5.3 on 9.04? directly from Mozilla? | 23:17 |
| JustinA | unetbootin is only for linux and windows, i'm on a Mac | 23:17 |
| geekgerl | http://paste.ubuntu.com/271739/ | 23:17 |
| sebsebseb | Crazycheese: or what? | 23:17 |
| alsuren | cowgarden: the point of ./ is so that you don't accidentally run an executable from the current directory when you meant to use the one from your $PATH | 23:17 |
| AutoMatriX | enduser000, I just wxant to reinstall the master partition | 23:18 |
| JustinA | but Mac's terminal has the dd commmand | 23:18 |
| garv | kikbguy if its a lcd tv it will HAVE to run in native in order for it to scale correctly | 23:18 |
| JustinA | is it possible with that? | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | !details | Crazycheese | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Crazycheese: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:18 |
| Vinceman | if you extract stuff from a zip file do all files get the same date modified? | 23:18 |
| trism | Crazycheese: actually, I've only tried firefox-3.0 like that, I'll go check out firefox 3.5 | 23:18 |
| cowgarden | alsuren, yea, just had a script that wouldn't work without it and I was currious | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | !ff35 | trism | 23:18 |
| rionline | unetbootin is right: download most distros and put it on stick | 23:18 |
| ubottu | trism: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY | 23:18 |
| ionut_ | JustinA if you're on a Mac just make the bootable usb form the Ubuntu Live CD on a system with a CD-ROM drive | 23:18 |
| Pereirao | enduser: try using gconf-editor... look in /apps/wp_tray | 23:18 |
| DasEi | JustinA: no, that won't boot, you gotta find a mac user or even run a ubuntu vm in mac, usbcreator is very convienant | 23:18 |
| kikbguy | how do i run in native? | 23:19 |
| cowgarden | alsuren, (1 click wep cracking :) | 23:19 |
| JustinA | ok | 23:19 |
| alsuren | cowgarden: imagine if someone created a script called aptitude, which did rm -rf /, and you did $ sudo aptitude | 23:19 |
| AutoMatriX | enduser000, i talked about a CD, not a harddisk, sorry, my mistake | 23:19 |
| JustinA | i'll try unetbootin from a VM | 23:19 |
| JustinA | but is the live CD it creates the same as an installation CD? | 23:19 |
| trism | Crazycheese: you're right, it isn't showing the correct locale for me either | 23:19 |

| trism | Crazycheese: must be a problem with the package, probably should go report the bug | 23:19 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: hi | 23:19 |
| geekgerl | hello :) | 23:20 |
| cowgarden | alsuren, that was bad..., so ./ also limits it's powers to that folder? | 23:20 |
| DasEi | JustinA: or try to boot alternate installer, be CAREFULL and install to usb, carefull as not to overwrite internal disk | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: ok your meant to ask a question first, not give out a pastebin link first | 23:20 |
| geekgerl | sorry, yeah | 23:20 |
| enduser000 | AutoMatriX: np, you can use a flash drive if you have that | 23:20 |
| AutoMatriX | enriaf, I've got the ISO bu do not know hos to reinstall from that file | 23:20 |
| JustinA | DasEi: lol, I've made that mistake before... I'm very careful... but what's the alternate installer? | 23:20 |
| enriaf | cowgarden: no it doesn't limit it power, the power is define by the permision that you hav | 23:20 |
| AutoMatriX | Endu | 23:20 |
| Crazycheese | sebsebseb: I have lastest XUL and Fx built from scratch on archlinux. My locale is set to ru_RU.UTF-8. I have installed language files from mozilla site on correct location. First (and all following) start(s) Firefox launches in en-US, unless I change it manually to "ru" in about:config. I was wondering if Ubuntu experiences same thing. | 23:20 |
| alsuren | cowgarden: no. It just points bash to the script contatained in the current directory | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | Crazycheese: This is Ubuntu support not ArchLinux! | 23:21 |
| DasEi | !alternate | 23:21 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 23:21 |
| trism | Crazycheese: yeah we do I just tried it | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: What's your issue? I may look at your pastebin link later | 23:21 |
| cowgarden | alsuren, so where was the link to the previous conversation? | 23:21 |
| geekgerl | Hi there. Trying to get lircd to listen on port 5000. The command "lircd -H udp -d 5000" runs fine, netstat shows nothing listening on port 5000. Full output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/271739/. | 23:21 |
| trism | Crazycheese: just for firefox-3.5 though not for firefox-3.0 | 23:21 |
| enriaf | AutoMatrix you have to burn the iso file into a cd with a program like brasero | 23:21 |
| gcl | hi guys, im trying to get surround sound to work. atm, it the speakers seem to be channeling sound out correctly in speaker tests. However, when running VLC when i select "5.1" from "Audio > Audio device" i get the following error: .."surround51" sis already in use | 23:21 |
| gcl | is* | 23:21 |
| DasEi | JustinA: saw !alternate above ? | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: oh you were Laura? | 23:21 |
| alsuren | cowgarden: if you've got a script in somedir, you can do somedir/script.sh | 23:21 |
| geekgerl | i was! sorry, i'm new to chatzilla client in firefox | 23:22 |
| Crazycheese | sebsebseb Please dont be distrofobic! Ubuntu is my alternative distro as well! The question is not ubuntu or arch related, its pure firefox. | 23:22 |
| geekgerl | didn't mean to spam the group | 23:22 |
| gcl | does anyone know how to fix that? | 23:22 |
| cowgarden | alsuren, *laughing* ok | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: you didn't spam/food :D | 23:22 |
| gcl | or am i asking in the wrong channel? | 23:22 |
| AutoMatriX | enriaf, I just said I dont have a CD, there is just a HD on board and for info : USB boot wont work, my motherboard does not allow it | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | Crazycheese: I am not sure you can try irc.mozilla.org #firefox or ##linux or #firefox on this network | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: flood not food :D | 23:23 |
| kikbguy | For some reason opensuse 11.1 fits my screen (but sucks compared to ubuntu in every other respect), and fedora 11 has the same screen shifted to left issue if that helps at all | 23:23 |
| JustinA | DasEi: yeah, looking up the alternate | 23:23 |
| trism | Crazycheese: since it seems both distros are doing it you should probably go report it to the firefox guys | 23:23 |
| Ulises1 | Hi all | 23:23 |
| JustinA | looks complicated | 23:23 |
| Crazycheese | sebsebseb: Guys @ irc.mozilla.org have NO clue.... | 23:23 |
| zaccour | ok i have gyachi voice chat working it seems but i have to choose a server. how do i know which one? there's lots of them | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | Crazycheese: try ##linux then | 23:23 |
| enriaf | AutoMatrix now I understand what you mean | 23:23 |
| trism | Crazycheese: I mean like on the firefox bugzilla | 23:23 |
| JustinA | i think ill try the usbcreater type thing | 23:23 |
| AutoMatriX | enriaf, sorry, english is not my native tongue | 23:23 |
| Crazycheese | sebsebseb: trism: thanks guys, Im on it. | 23:23 |
| enriaf | AutoMatrix as me :D I am thinking in a solution | 23:24 |
| kikbguy | Anybody have any ideas? | 23:24 |
| DasEi | JustinA: next to the textinstaller, you can also choose expertmode in where special install options, like grub on usb etc. can be taken | 23:24 |
| enriaf | AutoMatrix but it is difficult why don't you try to find out a cd reader? | 23:24 |

| TrentonAdams | hi guys, what is the recommended IRC client for gnome? | 23:25 |
| SharpRain | XChat | 23:25 |
| eyeron | x-chat | 23:25 |
| AutoMatriX | TrentonAdams, Xchat | 23:25 |
| kikbguy | I think it's pidgin, but I'm a newb | 23:25 |
| Hawaiian_Eskimo | xchat | 23:25 |
| trism | I'm going to be different and say irssi | 23:25 |
| enriaf | why xchat what is the different betwen pidgin? | 23:25 |
| SharpRain | Pidgin is bad as an IRC Client | 23:26 |
| JustinA | @DasEi: So once I successfully get the live-CD booting from the USB drive, how do I install from the USB Drive to the hard drive? | 23:26 |
| durt | kikbguy, check which versions of Xorg are being used and which drivers, oss or restricted. going from nvidia to nv in ubuntu does this for me. | 23:26 |
| njbair | Isn't there an fstab flag to keep it from freezing on boot if an NFS share is not available? | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: hmm | 23:26 |
| AutoMatriX | back | 23:26 |
| TrentonAdams | Installing xchat-gnome now, we'll see. I'm using pidgin at the moment. | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: Your issue isn't distro specific right? | 23:26 |
| === dimitris is now known as ubuntistas | ||
| geekgerl | sebsebseb: not that i know of | 23:27 |
| DasEi | JustinA: ?? you want to install to the harddrive ?? not to the usb ? | 23:27 |
| kikbguy | do you know how I could go from nvidia to nv/open up restricted drivers from the 9.04 live cd? | 23:27 |
| AutoMatriX | TrentonAdams, Xchat is different than xhat-gnome | 23:27 |
| === theGussi is now known as Gussi | ||

| AutoMatriX | TrentonAdams, and pigdin, is OK but it is more for instant messagers | 23:27 |
| nexes | stupid question i know, but what version of firefox are you guys on? | 23:27 |

| durt | kikbguy, does the live cd have the hardware drivers gui? | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | geekgerl: yeah I don't think it is, which means you could ask in ##linux | 23:28 |

| JustinA | @DasEi - Yes, I have a new nettop with a HD, but no CD drive, so I just want to get the installer on the USB so I can install to the HD | 23:28 |

| DasEi | JustinA:telling the whole story brings us back to the beginning then, you got to make the stick bootable, which then is a question for a mac channel, or setup an ubuntu environment; does the new nettop has any os it yet ? | 23:34 |
| gdoteof | johnT, no I haven't. i have the 64 bit running, I don't even know how to stop it really :/. | 23:34 |
| gdoteof | johnT, i will download them | 23:34 |
| garv | ive tried two routers, and neither of them will give me an ip | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | garv: ubuntu uses Network Manager by default for managing network interfaces | 23:34 |

| gdoteof | johnT, can they both run simultaneously? | 23:35 |
| johnT | 32 and 64 bits applications? of course | 23:35 |

| gdoteof | johnT, well can I run a 32bit JRE along side a 64 bit JRE | 23:35 |
| kikbguy | durt, i'm not sure what you mean by set up tv out properly (sorry, I'm a beginner/newb or whatever) | 23:36 |

| durt | kikbguy, I think your prop is getting tv out working right, which may require adjustments to xorg.conf, but the live cd uses something else to configure Xorg, which I can't remember offhand, anyone? | 23:37 |
| trism | Crazycheese: well, firefox-3.5 isn't officially supported in ubuntu yet, I assume it will probably be the default in karmic | 23:37 |
| DasEi | JustinA:further on, as of different hw, next question is will that boot on the nettop ? | 23:37 |

| durt | kikbguy, excellent idea. | 23:45 |

| johnT | gdoteof, already tried sudo update-alternatives --config java, don't you? | 23:46 |
| johnT | gdoteof, the /usr/lib/java directory appears to be good: you have the 32bit swt installed properly | 23:46 |
| trism | dennygoot: I don't know if this will help, but it seems to be the same problem https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ArtecEplus48uConf | 23:47 |

| dennygoot | anyone know why me usb scanner only works if i am in su mode? xsane dont work, gksu xsane does... it's definetly not the hardware. | 23:48 |
| johnT | gdoteof, already tried the alternative n° 5? | 23:48 |
| gdoteof | yes | 23:48 |
| johnT | gdoteof, you have the openjdk selected, try the 5) - the java-6-sun proprietary package | 23:48 |
| gdoteof | i just did | 23:48 |
| johnT | gdoteof, didn't solve i guess | 23:48 |
| gdoteof | do i need to do anything else, java --version shows 64bit still | 23:48 |
| johnT | do you need 64 bit jvm? You can try to disinstall it as a workaround | 23:49 |
| dennygoot | if your talking about java issues, i had a problem with java 6, had to use synaptic to remove it, then reinstall, dont know if that helps but.. | 23:49 |
| garv | can someone link me to a network card that will work out of the box with ubuntu | 23:49 |
| Sedated | garv most cards will work out of the box, just try to get a brand name one | 23:50 |
| gdoteof | johnT, i don't think I need it. what package(s) should i be removing here? openjdk-6-jre, default-jre? | 23:50 |
| dennygoot | these cards are reoprted to work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 23:51 |
| nexes | garv what card are you using, mine is the broadcom 4328 and it worked fine out the box | 23:51 |
| dennygoot | oops those are wireless | 23:51 |
| Blizzerand | lol | 23:51 |
| === MK-ubuntu is now known as MK-BB | ||
| Sedated | garv: is your nic onboard? what's your motherboard or PC model #? | 23:51 |
| gdoteof | johnT, removing them all | 23:51 |
| johnT | gdoteof, remove the proprietary packages too, sun-* | 23:52 |
| Vinceman | there is no space for chaos in lniux | 23:52 |
| Vinceman | linux | 23:52 |
| gdoteof | progress, now it can't find a JVM | 23:52 |
| dennygoot | these network cards should work: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wired-ethernet | 23:52 |
| judson_ | :O | 23:52 |
| johnT | gdoteof, ok. re-install the package from sun microsystems site | 23:52 |
| johnT | the 32 bit one of course | 23:53 |
| garv | nic is onboard, mother is asus p5n-d | 23:53 |
| Blizzerand | Vinceman : Can't say that for sure though | 23:53 |
| dennygoot | anyone know why xsane can only use my scanner when i gksu xsane first? | 23:53 |
| technot | hi everyone. does anyone know if there is a way to start the gnome vnc server thing, from remote through ssh? my gnome session is running and is logged in, and i got access via ssh, and the vnc port is opened in firewall. just need to start the gnome remote desktop thingy from ssh console. thanks in advance for all help. | 23:53 |
| gdoteof | johnT, did. still is not finding the VM.. i am going to add the path that it was installed to into my PATH | 23:54 |
| Blizzerand | dennygoot " probably because it needs admin powers to be opened | 23:54 |
| enriqueaf | dennygoot you have to change the permissions for who can use the scanner | 23:54 |
| dennygoot | this might help with the vnc ssh thing, dont know, i just had ti bookmarked: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-656129.html | 23:55 |
| technot | i'll check it. thanks alot | 23:55 |
| dennygoot | i did change the permissions, but it still gives me a weird error like it cant read from the source, which i know is wrong, cause like i said gksu xsane works | 23:55 |
| nh2 | what is the equivalent of Ctrl-C in single user rescue mode? | 23:56 |
| technot | dennygoot: nah, that trick is for starting a vnc server that will spawn a new x when logged in. which is not what i need :\ | 23:56 |
| Sedated | garv... which ubuntu release are you using? | 23:57 |
| nh2 | I started a ping and cannot abort it | 23:57 |
| szeck | hei guys i have installed ME Tv and i have the dvb usb in but the program says: No dvb device installed..... the device is in lsusb.... any suggestion? | 23:57 |
| technot | i need access to my allready logged in desktop :\ | 23:57 |
| dennygoot | ohh, sorry. don't know then.. | 23:57 |
| ubliRj | i have a problem with skype on 7.04 skype: relocation error: skype: symbol snd_device_name_hint, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference | 23:57 |
| garv | sedated 8.04 | 23:57 |
| technot | i'm sure there must be a simple way. | 23:57 |
| Sedated | garv: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/349712 | 23:57 |
| enriqueaf | technot is as easy as you tunel that port via an ssh session | 23:57 |
| technot | that's not the problem enriqueaf | 23:57 |
| garv | sedated i was using the lastest but had the same problems, so i went back to 8.04 to see if it would fix it | 23:57 |
| dennygoot | ok this is what it says "failed to open device (my artec)" | 23:58 |
| gdoteof | johNT, woot. worked. thanks. now it is bitching about a 32 bit eclipse | 23:58 |
| enriqueaf | technot why not? | 23:58 |
| gdoteof | johnT, but i can get that.. thanks! | 23:58 |
| gdoteof | ++johnT | 23:58 |
| johnT | gdoteof, let me know about eclipse | 23:58 |
| Sedated | garv: that bug report says it works in karmic. you could probably pick up any cheap card with a Realtek chip and have no problems | 23:58 |
| technot | the problem is that gnome is not setup with vnc enable.. and i need to enable it so i can log on my allready existing gnome session. | 23:58 |
| dennygoot | and then also it tosses in an invalid argument afterwards | 23:58 |
| technot | tunneling vnc over ssh wont get me anywere near my goal. | 23:58 |
| gdoteof | johNT, will do | 23:58 |
| garv | yeah just robbed one out of my moms computer works fine | 23:58 |
| johnT | gdoteof, good ;) | 23:58 |
| garv | sucks though i didnt want to have to spend any $$ to get this file server up | 23:58 |
| technot | both vnc and ssh ports are opened in firewall, no problem. | 23:58 |
| obiwan_ | hi, please is thre any command for trace other commands? for example, when i do ls look what system calls ls do? | 23:58 |

| bobbob1016 | I have a headphone jack on my PC, when I play audio, it plays through headphones, even though I have speakers hooked up. Is there a way I select where the sound goes through software? | 23:59 |
| trism | technot: well, vino-server (System/Preferences/Remote Desktop) lets you share the current logged in session, but I don't know if you can start it from the command line | 23:59 |
| technot | but i am logged in my computer at home, and i need to log into that specific gnome session | 23:59 |
| obiwan_ | thx jrib ! | 23:59 |
| technot | trism: exactly .. | 23:59 |
| technot | :) | 23:59 |
| technot | i need to know how to enable it from command line | 23:59 |
| szeck | hei guys i have installed ME Tv and i have the dvb usb in but the program says: No dvb device installed..... the device is in lsusb.... any suggestion? | 23:59 |
| technot | normally you go system->whatnot->remote desktop. and hit "enable" and that's it :p | 23:59 |
